Chocolate Chip Tahini Cookies (gluten-free, paleo)
Description
These cookies mix tahini, coconut sugar, and eggs with baking soda and vanilla extract, resulting in a dough that is thick and rich due to the tahini’s creamy texture. After mixing in chocolate chips, the dough is scooped and gently flattened before baking to assist spreading, as these cookies don't spread much on their own.
Baked at 350°F (177°C) for 13-15 minutes, the edges develop a golden tone while the centers stay tender. The flavor is a balance of the sesame notes from the tahini and the sweetness of coconut sugar and chocolate chips, offering a distinct cookie experience suitable for those avoiding gluten and grains.
Using homemade tahini affects the texture slightly; store-bought tahini may yield minor differences. The cookies' minimal spread allows sizing and thickness to be controlled easily by flattening before baking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 2 egg large
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
- Add all of the ingredients except the chocolate chips into a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to mix everything together.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined backing sheet. Then, use your fingers to gently flatten the cookies a bit (you may need to wet your fingers to prevent sticking).
- Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes, or until golden along the edges.
Notes
- Homemade tahini used here is thick like peanut butter; store-bought may alter cookie texture slightly.
- Use allergen-friendly chocolate chips, such as Pascha Organic Dark Chocolate Chips, if needed.
- Cookies do not spread much during baking; flatten dough balls to desired thickness before baking.
