Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup tahini
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare baking workspace by lining a sheet with parchment and heating oven to 350°F, ensuring even temperature distribution.
- Thoroughly blend flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a uniform dry foundation.
- Whisk melted coconut oil and brown sugar until achieving a silky, homogeneous mixture, incorporating vanilla extract and tahini for depth of flavor.
- Gently integrate dry ingredients into wet components, stirring minimally to prevent overworking the dough, then tenderly fold chocolate chips throughout.
- Utilize a tablespoon to portion cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet, maintaining consistent spacing to allow proper spreading during baking.
- Transfer cookies to preheated oven, monitoring closely as they transform from pale to golden-edged perfection, with centers remaining delicately soft.
- Let cookies rest momentarily on baking sheet to stabilize structure, then delicately transfer to cooling rack, allowing complete temperature reduction for optimal texture.
Notes
- Swap tahini with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for different nutty undertones and potential nut-free options.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, more structured cookies.
- Use dark chocolate chips with higher cocoa content for deeper, richer flavor and potential antioxidant benefits.
- Experiment with adding chopped nuts or dried fruit like cranberries for extra texture and nutritional complexity.
