Every time I whip up a batch of tahini cookies, I wonder, why not add some chocolate for fun? The result is a delightful surprise: soft, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate tahini cookies that are rich and sweet. They’re not just cookies; they carry the essence of brownies — a perfect combination!

Ingredients You’ll Need

With just one bowl, eight ingredients, and about 20 minutes, you can create these delicious cookies right at home. The ingredients are easy to find and are entirely suitable for both gluten-free and vegan diets.

• Tahini: Made from sesame seeds, this nutty butter adds a creamy texture with a hint of bitterness and moisture to the cookies without needing any butter or oil.
• Maple Syrup: This natural sweetener blends perfectly with tahini, contributing moisture and a gentle sweetness to the cookies.
• Almond Flour and Cassava Flour: This combination keeps the cookies light and fluffy. If you can’t have almonds, feel free to try cashew flour instead!
• Cocoa Powder: Rich chocolate flavor — no further explanation needed, right?
• Sea Salt and Baking Soda: These ingredients help the cookies rise and enhance their flavor.
• Chocolate Chips: Because a little extra chocolate is always a good idea! You’ll love the melty chocolate pieces in each cookie!

How to Make Chocolate Tahini Cookies

Start by mixing the tahini and maple syrup in a large bowl. Once these two ingredients come together, you’ll have a smooth and easy-to-work-with mixture.

Next, add in the dry ingredients: almond flour, cassava flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until you have a uniform dough.

Finally, fold in the chocolate chips. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, take about 1.5 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into balls, spacing them 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Gently press down on each ball to flatten it slightly.

Baking Time

Bake the cookies for about 9-12 minutes, until the edges are slightly firm. Let them cool for about 5 minutes before diving in!

Storage Tips

These cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to a month. It’s fantastic to have fresh cookies ready to enjoy whenever a craving strikes!
