Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The cookie dough combines dry ingredients—flour, leaveners, salt—with wet ingredients including brown sugar, melted coconut oil, tahini, water, and vanilla extract. Tahini serves as a fat and flavor component, contributing a mild nutty taste and moisture. Dark chocolate chips are gently folded into the batter before scooping onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
Baked at 350°F, the cookies develop lightly browned edges with a soft center. After baking, they should cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes to set. The texture is achieved by the balance of coconut oil and tahini to keep cookies moist and tender despite being vegan.
If the dough is too thick, additional water can be added; if too soft, chilling before baking helps with handling. These cookies are suitable for those following a vegan diet but enjoy traditional chocolate chip cookie flavors with a unique twist from tahini.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup coconut oil melted
- ⅓ cup tahini see note
- 6 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 dark chocolate chips heaping cup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, coconut oil, tahini, water, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients and use a spatula to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips. Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheets. Bake, one sheet at a time, for 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes.
Notes
- Tahini consistency varies by brand; add 2-3 tablespoons water if dough is too thick.
- If dough is too soft to scoop, chill in the fridge for 20 minutes before baking.
- Preferred tahini brands include Cedar's, Trader Joe's, and Seed + Mill for best flavor balance.
