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!

Ingredients

1 flax egg (1 Tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 Tbsp water)
1/3 cup tahini
1/2 cup coconut sugar (or you can use brown sugar)
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
flaked sea salt or kosher salt for sprinkling on top (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
Make flax egg by combining the ground flaxseed and water in a medium bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken up. To the bowl with the flax egg, add the tahini, coconut sugar, and coconut oil. Stir until well combined.
Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well with a spatula. Fold in the chocolate chips. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Use a cookie scoop and place on baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your hands. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Just until slightly golden. Let it sit on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. They firm up once cooled. Enjoy!
