Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of tahini and 1 cup of brown sugar. Use a whisk or a spatula to mix them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the tahini and sugar mixture. Mix thoroughly until the egg is fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set. Be careful not to overbake, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious flourless salted tahini chocolate chip cookies as a delightful treat!
Tips
- Use Fresh Tahini: The flavor of your tahini can greatly affect the taste of your cookies. Opt for fresh, high-quality tahini for the best results.
- Don’t Overmix: Once you add the dry ingredients to the wet, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to denser cookies.
- Chill the Dough: For a thicker cookie, consider chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent spreading and enhances the texture.
- Watch the Baking Time: Since ovens can vary, keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your cookies by adding nuts, dried fruit, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for an extra flavor boost!
