Why Tahini in Cookies?
Tahini, made from ground sesame seeds, adds a depth of flavor that elevates these cookies beyond the ordinary. It provides a subtle nuttiness, a creamy texture, and a hint of savory complexity that complements the chocolate beautifully. Plus, it’s a great source of healthy fats and plant-based protein!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) vegan butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups vegan chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the tahini and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the vegan chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips and Variations:

- Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for an extra burst of flavor.
