Those peanut butter cookies are crisp and slightly crumbly, and have an fantastic peanut butter taste. Feel free to replace rolled spelt flakes and spelt flour with oats and wheat flour. The recipe has been adapted from Delicious Magazine.

- Preheat the oven to 160C/320F. Line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper. Beat the softened butter, peanut butter and sesame paste in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Add the sugar and beat again until well mixed.
- Add in egg and vanilla to the peanut butter mixture. Beat again with the wooden spoon. Add the rolled spelt flakes and raisins to the mixture, sift over the flour and baking soda and mix well.
- Put large spoonfuls of the mixture onto the trays, spacing slightly apart, and bake for 20 minutes until light golden. Remove from the oven. Leave to firm up on their trays for a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 3 days.

As someone who isn't a fan of peanut butter in sweets, I must say I would love to taste your cookies! They look fantastic.
These cookies look delicious!
Looks and sounds absolutely delicious, and the texture sounds fantastic. I have made sesame cookies but never tried tahini.
Love cookies with raisin, I couldn't stop eating them!
Although it's been a while...I always appreciate my visits with you Angie.

I really like the way you make all your cookies, so rustic looking and simple too! This one looks as good as the rest!
That's an interesting combo in a cookie. Looks yummy.
Love the sesame paste added into these cookies! They sound absolutely delicious =)
peanut butter and sesame paste (tahini, right?) are so flavorful! i love nut/seed butters in my baked goods :)
I love the thought of adding sesame paste, what wonderful sounding recipe and I am not even a big peanut butter cookie fan!
These cookies must have a terrific texture and taste, nice!
Peanut butter is always welcome by big boy at my home. these cookies is going to cheer up my day too :)
Those are gorgeous cookiss, Angie. I like the more unique ingredient list as well.
Those look amazing! I love raisin cookies and while I've never had them peanie butter style before I'm sure I'd be a huge fun. Very yum!
I love that these cookies have peanut butter AND sesame! Double dose of protein!
Yum! These cookies look delicious:)
Such scrumptious cookies! I love that they have peanut butter AND sesame paste in them!
I have never used sesame paste before to bake with but I just love the idea! Thank you for sharing another delightful and creative recipe. I hope you had a lovely weekend, and I'm hoping you have an even lovelier week. Blessings from this hot state of Texas!
Beautiful cookies! Love the flavors :)
I am drooling with just the mention of peanut butter, can't wait to try this recipe. How to make sesame paste?
I have made tahini-based cookies before, but never cookies with three types of butter~ sounds wonderful actually! Now I have to get familiar with spelt flour, which I have seen in your site so often and still never used.
hi angie, have to look out for that flour ans flakes.. hope its available over here. these peanut butter, sesame, raisin cookies looks delicious and am sure they taste delicious too..must try and thanks for the recipe
We've never used tahini in a baked good, but that's a good idea. It's a nice way to add flavor underneath the layers.
