The Best Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies

Paleo
Dairy-Free
Gluten-Free

It has been a long time since I’ve posted any recipes. It’s been very busy here with school, work, the new puppy, and without getting political, things have been quite difficult in Ontario throughout this pandemic so I needed a break from something in order to maintain some sort of sanity throughout all of this. I’m happy to say that I am back and plan to be posting recipes more frequently again, starting now!

These cookies are my new favorite cookie recipe. They are SO easy to make, are chewy on the outside and soft on the inside, only require a handful of ingredients and are gluten and dairy-free! While there is a 60 minute chill time required, the cookie dough comes together in a matter of minutes and only takes 10-12 minutes to baking after chilling! We’ve been enjoying these cookies so much, that I’ve made them THREE times in the last week and a half!

Servings:

12-15 cookies

Prep Time:

5 minutes

Cook Time:

10-12 minutes

Total Time:

15-17 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of tahini
  • 1/3 cup of honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 1 cup of almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • a pinch of sea salt
  • 3/4 cup of chocolate chunks

Instructions:

Step 1:

In a large bowl, mix together the tahini, honey, egg, and vanilla until completely incorporated.

Step 2:

Mix in the almond flour, baking soda and sea salt. Gently fold in the chocolate chunks.

Step 3:

Cover the dough and place it in the refrigerator for 60 minutes prior to baking.

Step 4:

When the cookie dough is almost finished chilling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 5:

After 1 hour, remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator. Roll the cookie dough into approximately 2 tablespoon sized balls and place on prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart.

Step 6:

Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the edges and tops of the cookies are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before carefully removing to a wire cooling rack to cool to room temperature. Enjoy!

Notes:
  1. I have not tried any other flours for use in this recipe
  2. It’s important to let the dough chill for 1 hour before baking, otherwise your cookies may spread too much while baking
  3. Cookies can be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to a week
