Report
These tahini chocolate chip cookies with a sprinkle of sea salt are easy to make and way more grown up than Chips Ahoy. Make the dough a day ahead to let it chill overnight.

Instructions
- Add the butter, tahini and sugar to the bowl of the stand mixer and mix on medium speed for 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla and beat for an additional 5 minutes so that the mixture has an almost whipped consistency.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk together to combine.
- Add the flour mixture to the tahini mixture and mix on low speed, until just combined. Do not over mix.
- Add the chopped chocolate and use a rubber spatula to fold the chunks into the batter. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 325°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
- Use a 2 tablespoon ice cream scoop to measure out large cookies... Sprinkle the cookies with sesame seeds. Be sure to space them at least 3" apart on the cookie sheet.
- Bake for 13-16 minutes until golden brown around the edges but pale in the middle. As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, lightly sprinkle with sea salt.
Notes
- Store tahini chocolate chunk cookies in a sealed, airtight container.
