Those chewy brownies, your favourite ice cream, and your everyday life-saver cookies can be mix with tahini. Your favourite sweet treats at those coffee shops need not to be avoided just because it’s unhealthy. Just look for a healthier alternative ingredient, one of it is tahini.

 

So today, I will share how to make your homemade tahini chocolate chip cookies.

 

 

What you need:

  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • ½tsp of baking soda
  • 1cup granulated sugar
  • ½tsp of baking powder
  • 1egg (large)
  • ½cup tahini paste
  • 1eggyolk
  • 1tsp salt
  • 1cup and 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour
  • 4oz of   unsalted butter
  • 1 and ¾ cup of dark sweet chocolate chips (or chunked chocolate from a bar)

Instructions:

  • Use an electric mixer. Put inside the mixing bowl the tahini, sugar, and butter cream. Mix at a medium speed for 5 minutes or until mixture becomes fluffy.
  • Add the large egg, eggyolk, vanilla extract and continue mixing the ingredients for another 5 minutes.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix these dry ingredients using a fork.
  • Add the mixed dry ingredients to your butter mixture, one at a time. It should be in low speed to prevent spilling of the mixture, especially the dry ones. Make sure the butter mixture and mixed dry ingredients are well-mixed.
  • Add in the chocolate chips or chunks. Use a rubber spatula to fold in your chocolates.
  • Your dough shouldn’t be stiff, it must be soft.
  • Put the dough in a large container, cover it with a plastic and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. This process will make your cookies tender.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. While waiting, put a baking sheet or a parchment paper to your non-stick baking tray. To have a uniform size for your cookies, use a spoon or ice cream scoop to form dough.
  • The distance from one cookie to another cookie, should be at least 3 inches apart. This would allow the cookie dough to spread.
  • This is optional, you can sprinkle it with your favourite toppings like more chocolate chunks, colourful sprinkles, or maybe the famous marshmallows on the top of it.
  • Bake cookie dough until golden brown in colour around its edge, but in the middle it should look pale compared to the edges. This would result to a chewy, chocolatey, and aromatic tahini chocolate chip cookies. Approximately it will take between 14-18 minutes.
  • Let it cool in its rack, at room temperature.

 

Enjoy every bite of these guilty-pleasure chocolate chip cookies in healthier way! No need to say NO to a sweet but healthy treat for you! Help yourself!
