Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 3/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the tahini, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure an even distribution.
- Incorporate dry into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to form the cookie dough.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold the dairy-free chocolate chips into the dough, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Shape cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden while the centers remain soft and chewy.
- Cool cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely to set the texture.
Notes
- For best texture, do not overbake the cookies to keep them soft inside.
- Ensure parchment paper is used to prevent sticking and enable easy cleanup.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
