Description

These Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies offer a unique twist on traditional cookies by combining creamy tahini with rich chocolate chips for a chewy, slightly crispy treat. Made with almond flour and naturally sweetened with maple syrup, these cookies are both flavorful and slightly nutty, perfect for a wholesome snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 heaping cup chocolate chips
  • 1 scoop collagen peptides (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup tahini (preferably Soom Foods, or any liquid-y tahini)
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg

Topping

  • Sea salt flakes for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to ensure the cookies do not stick during baking.
  2. Mix dry and wet ingredients (except egg and baking soda): In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, tahini, maple syrup, collagen peptides if using, and chocolate chips. Stir well until the dough is thick; if it’s too runny, add a little more almond flour until the right consistency is reached.
  3. Chill the dough: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This step is crucial for the texture and helps the dough firm up for easier handling.
  4. Preheat the oven: While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Add egg and baking soda: Remove dough from refrigerator and incorporate the egg and baking soda thoroughly to bind the dough.
  6. Form cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into 16 evenly sized cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 11 minutes. Aim to slightly undercook them so the edges are crispy and the centers remain chewy.
  8. Cool and add topping: Remove from oven and allow the cookies to settle on the baking sheet. Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top while still warm to enhance flavor.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Once cooled enough to handle, serve these delightfully chewy tahini chocolate chip cookies and enjoy!

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is essential for achieving the perfect chewy texture.
  • Undercooking the cookies slightly ensures a crispy exterior with a soft, chewy center.
  • Optional collagen peptides can be added for additional protein without altering flavor significantly.
  • If dough feels too wet, add almond flour gradually to reach the desired thickness.
  • Use high-quality, liquid-y tahini like Soom Foods for the best flavor and texture.
