These chewy tahini chocolate chip cookies offer a nutty twist with a rich, chewy texture and melty chocolate chips, perfect for a unique and delicious treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (125g) tahini
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semisweet or dark chocolate chips
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, tahini, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer or sturdy spoon until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the large room-temperature egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and, if using, the chopped toasted nuts gently.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use softened butter for best creaming results. Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies chewy. If cookies spread too much, chill dough for 15 minutes before baking. Toast nuts in a dry pan before adding for extra flavor. Cookies firm up as they cool on the baking sheet, locking in chewiness.
