Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 cup Tahini Stir well before measuring to prevent separation.
- 1/2 cup Maple syrup or honey Use maple syrup for a softer sweetness.
- 1 large Egg For binding and texture.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Enhances cookie flavor.
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda For leavening.
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt To enhance the flavors.
- 1 cup Chocolate chips Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine tahini, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
- Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips last.
- Let the dough sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Baking
- Using a cookie scoop, drop tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers look slightly soft.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Flourless cookies can feel fragile after baking, so always cool them fully before stacking or freezing. They are best enjoyed after a day when the tahini flavor has settled in.
