Chewy tahini raisin cookies, featuring one of my favourite spice mixes, commonly used in Moroccan cuisine: Ras el Hanout. Move over pumpkin spice, there's a new winter flavour.

Ras el Hanout is often used in savoury dishes but works wonderfully in sweet dishes too and, dare I say it, even better than pumpkin spice. The name in Arabic means "head of the shop" and implies a mixture of the best spices the seller has to offer.
