Description
Bake soft and chewy cookies featuring the nutty depth of tahini balanced with rich chocolate chunks for a comforting, slightly different dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup pure tahini
- 1 large pasture-raised egg
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup raw cacao powder
- 1/2 cup non-dairy semisweet or dark chocolate bar, coarsely chopped, or semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Flaky salt, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the tahini, egg, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold in the cacao powder 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Add 1/3 cup of the chopped chocolate, the almond flour, baking soda, and a pinch of flaky salt, and stir to combine.
- Using a cookie scoop or two oiled spoons, form the dough into golf ball-sized balls. Arrange them 1 or 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Top the cookies with the remaining chocolate.
- Bake for 8 or 9 minutes, until the cookies have firmly set.
- Once they’ve cooled slightly, sprinkle more flaky salt on top of each cookie.
- Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- The tahini adds a gentle nuttiness that deepens the cookie flavor.
- Pairing the tahini with rich chocolate chunks creates a balanced taste.
- These cookies are best enjoyed warm when they are still soft.
