Best Ever Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies (vegan, gluten-free, paleo)
These tahini chocolate chip cookies are probably my favorite cookies ever! No joke, these have the perfect crisp exterior and chewy centers. I love the nuttiness from the tahini and almond flour, paired with the chocolate chips. YUM! These cookies are just lightly sweetened and make for the perfect healthy, but delicious dessert. I could literally pop like 5 of these babies when they come out of the oven. Warm cookies are my weakness and tahini is my jam. I also love these as a snack. Basically, these cookies are good for ANY time of day. They are grain-free, vegan, gluten-free, and paleo friendly. I don’t really know what else to say except for you HAVE to make these tahini chocolate chip cookies! They really are the BEST EVER!
