Do you remember what you ate when you went on holiday as a kid? As well as fresh rolls and tomatoes, my mum always prepared roast chicken and hard boiled eggs. At a way station on a long car journey, nothing tasted as great as roast chicken thigh and tomato, which we ate like an apple.

It is equally nice to eat then something sweet and homemade. For my children I try to prepare some cookies when we go on a trip. Usually, I make French pastry with white chocolate and brown sugar, which my children call słuchaweczki (small receivers). This time I prepared millet groats cookies with tahini and chocolate. They are not so sweet, have lots of sesame seeds and are crunchy with a beautiful, homely smell.

Ingredients (30 cookies)
3 tablespoons of tahini
120g of brown sugar
100g of butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
a pinch of salt
1 egg
130g of millet groats flakes
75g of flour
½ teaspoon of baking powder
½ of baking soda
100g of dark chocolate

Heat the oven up to 180C. Cover a baking sheet with some baking paper.
Pulp the butter with the brown sugar, vanilla sugar and salt to make a fluffy mass. Pulping constantly, add the tahini and then the egg. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and millet groats flakes. Break up the chocolate and add it to the dough. Mix it in. Make little balls from the mixture, around the size of walnuts. Put them on the baking sheet. Keep the cookies separate. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Leave to cool down.

Enjoy your meal!
