Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the tahini, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution and avoid clumps.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet tahini mixture, stirring until just combined and no flour pockets remain.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold the dairy-free chocolate chips evenly into the cookie dough to spread the chocolate throughout each cookie.
- Scoop dough: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft, ensuring a chewy texture.
- Cool cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to set properly.
Notes
- Ensure to use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe vegan and allergy-friendly.
- If tahini is very thick, you can slightly warm it to make mixing easier.
- Don’t overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool for the perfect chewy texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
