Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Small Batch Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- ⅓ cup tahini, stirred well or natural peanut butter
- ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with the rack in the middle and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a medium-size bowl, beat together the butter, tahini, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat until thoroughly blended and lightly fluffy, about 1 minute.
- Next, add the egg and vanilla and beat just until combined.
- Sprinkle in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt evenly over the the dough.
- Beat or mix with a spoon until just combined.
- Finally, stir in the chocolate chips. Save a few to add on top of the cookies for aesthetic purposes.
- Press the dough flat in the bowl and roughly divide it in quarters by eye (you can also lightly score it with a knife). Make three dough balls out of each quarter of dough (for a total of 12 cookies).
- Roll the dough balls lightly in your hands and then place them on the baking sheet, evenly spaced. I usually do two rounds of 6 cookies. Cool the cookie sheet between batches. Top with more chocolate chips.
- Bake for about 11 minutes. The edges will start to brown, but the centers will still appear soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
