Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking your cookies.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, blend together the tahini, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the wet mixture, mixing thoroughly for a consistent batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to distribute the leavening agents and seasonings evenly.
- Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing and keep cookies tender.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers are set.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, toast the tahini lightly before mixing.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help prevent excessive spreading.
- Substitute chocolate chips with chopped nuts or dried fruit for variety.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness up to a week.
