Salted Dark Chocolate Tahini Cookies

Chelsea Colbath
A dark, fudgey chocolate tahini cookie made with oats and maple syrup.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup room temperature coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup oats*
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips/chunks
  • flaky sea salt for topping (optional, but recommended)

Instructions
 

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper; set aside.
  • 2. Put coconut oil, maple syrup, and tahini in a medium bowl, and whisk to combine. Add in egg and vanilla, and whisk again to fully combine.
  • 3. Turn your oats into oat flour by quickly blending/pulsing them in a food processor or blender. Alternately, you can use 1 cup of oat flour if you have it in your pantry already. Add flour and all remaining ingredients to the tahini mixture, and stir well to combine.
  • 4. Portion cookies onto prepared pan by the heaping spoonful (about 2 Tablespoons each) to get 12 cookies. Flatten each scoop slightly with your fingers, as these cookies don't spread much in the oven. Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt.
  • 5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until just cooked through. The centers of each cookie should still look soft. Remove from oven and let cool, then transfer to an airtight container for up to 5 days, if you can possibly make 12 cookies last that long in your house.
