Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the cookies.
  3. Add tahini: Beat in the tahini until it is fully incorporated, adding moisture and a rich, nutty flavor to the dough.
  4. Incorporate eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure even distribution, then stir in the vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
  5. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  6. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough and developing too much gluten.
  7. Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly, ensuring each cookie will have a good chocolatey bite.
  8. Portion dough: Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
  9. Bake: Bake the cookies for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown while the centers remain slightly soft, yielding a chewy texture.
  10. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough after adding flour to avoid tough cookies.
  • For a nuttier flavor, you can toast the tahini lightly before mixing.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help control spreading if desired.
