Vegan Rosemary-Tahini Thanksgiving Cookies

This one is for the sweet and savory snack lovers!
Aren’t slightly savory sweets just the best? Today’s Vegan Rosemary-Tahini Thanksgiving Cookies combine the flavors of tahini, rosemary and chocolate into a crispy (in the good way) cookie. I like these cookies as the perfect after dinner (or Thanksgiving feast) bite since the combo of flavors makes them very satisfying.
I used pie crust cutters to make the leaf shapes but any cookie cutter will do!

Ingredients

- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup non-dairy milk
- 2 tbs chopped fresh rosemary
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ¼ cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a baking sheet.

- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, coconut sugar, baking soda and salt.

- Add contents of small bowl to large and mix until thoroughly combined (can use electric mixer). Fold in rosemary.
- Sprinkle extra flour on a clean surface. Use a rolling pin to roll dough out so it's ⅓" thick. Use cookie cutters to cut shapes and place on baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used.

- In a small saucepan, melt chocolate at low heat. Dip cookies in chocolate, sprinkle with coconut and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in refrigerator to harden chocolate.
