So many of you are so experienced...I would like some suggestions about how to ramp up the taste of these 'Tahini and Almond' cookies.  From David Lebovitz, they are delicious, that's certain...but I keep thinking about adding something to them to give them more 'taste'.  Their taste would be supplied by the ground almonds, tahini, and vanilla.  What could I add safely?  Thanks.
 

 

 

I like to add toasted sesame oil to any cookies that call for tahini. 
You can also toast and grind sesame seeds but that may change the texture, too. 
Edited to add that the tahini cookies in Ottolenghi's Jerusalem get a sprinkle of cinnamon which might be an option if it appeals to you.
