    What is tahini?

    Tahini is made from ground sesame seeds. It can be used in baking, savory dishes, sauces, and dressings. Its versatility makes it a great staple to keep in the pantry or fridge.

    Making Gluten-Free Cookies with Tahini

    • Mix your liquids. A quick whisk to combine.
    • Add your dry ingredients. Stir the dry with the wet ingredients to form the cookie dough.
    • Fold in your chocolate chips. Essential!
    • Chill. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
    • Roll dough in balls. Sprinkle with sea salt.
    • Bake. 10-12 minutes should do the trick.

    Seed and nut butters have so many uses, especially in gluten-free baking. These monster cookies utilize almond butter for a wonderfully chewy cookie.

    Ingredients

    • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons warm water)
    • ¾ cup tahini well stirred
    • ½ cup maple syrup
    • 1 cup (105g) almond flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • ¾ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
    • sea salt for sprinkling

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare flax egg, set aside for 4-5 minutes. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, whisk tahini, maple syrup, and flax egg together. Add almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until evenly combined.
    • Fold in chocolate chips. Chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
    • Using a tablespoon, scoop cookie dough and gently roll into a loose ball with your hands. (If dough doesn't roll into a loose ball, add a bit more almond flour.)
    • The dough will be sticky, wet your hands lightly with water as needed to make rolling easier. Place ball on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies start to look golden on top (I found 11 minutes was perfect for my oven). Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing with a spatula and placing on wire rack. Leave on wire rack until completely cool.
    • Store in an airtight container.
