Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies

Print Recipe

These Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies are a unique twist on the classic favorite, featuring nutty tahini for a rich, complex flavor and a soft, chewy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup tahini (well-stirred)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Optional: Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the tahini, butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each dough ball.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use well-stirred tahini to avoid separation of oil and solids.
  • Do not overbake—the cookies will firm up as they cool.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
