Have you ever dreamt of eating a cookie that’s actually good for you? Well, your dream is now a reality with this life-changing chocolate chip cookie recipe. These simple cookies are flourless and refined sugar-free, using tahini (sesame seed butter) as their base to create a rich treat with a welcome nutty taste and bone-building calcium. A sprinkle of coarse salt before baking takes these already-epic cookies to another level. And, not only do they taste sensational, they’re also stunningly beautiful, with their rustic crinkles and bursts of dark chocolate. We think you may never go back to the standard chocolate chip cookie again.
ingredients
directions
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk to combine tahini and coconut sugar. Whisk in egg, followed by vanilla and baking soda. With a spatula, fold in chocolate until evenly incorporated.
Scoop 1 Tbsp-sized portions of cookie dough and add to prepared baking sheet, leaving about 3-inches of space around each cookie, as they will spread quite a bit. Do not flatten cookies. Sprinkle a small amount of coarse sea salt on top of each cookie.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until dry on top and spread, rotating pans halfway through if oven racks are staggered. Cool cookies on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Serve.
