Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (120g) tahini
2 1/4 cups (270g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined.
Mix in the tahini until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just blended. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will look slightly underbaked.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra nutty flavor, lightly toast your tahini before using it, if desired.
Press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the dough balls before baking for a prettier presentation.
This recipe pairs well with a glass of milk or a warm cup of tea.
