Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
-
1 cup tahini
-
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
-
1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 Tablespoons water (or 1 egg)
-
½ teaspoon cinnamon
-
½ teaspoon sea salt
-
½ teaspoon bi carb soda
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
3 Tablespoons coconut flour
-
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes (optional)
-
1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips
- flaked sea salt, for topping (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 176 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
- Combine ground flaxseed with water in a small bowl and set aside for 5-10 minutes or until thick and gelatinous.
- If you’re adding coconut flakes in the recipe preheat a sauté pan to medium heat. Add the coconut flakes and stir constantly until they turn a golden color (this will take about 1-3 minutes). Remove them from the pan and allow to cool. This step is optional, but highly recommended.
- Once the flaxseed mixture has setup, use a medium size mixing bowl to combine tahini, maple syrup, flaxseed mixture, cinnamon, sea salt, baking soda and vanilla. Stir together until everything is incorporated.
- Fold in coconut flour, toasted shredded coconut (if using) and dark chocolate chips.
- Scoop out the cookie batter using a small/medium cooking scoop or Tablespoon and place on baking sheet giving about 1½ inches between each cookie. Sprinkle a few sea salt flakes on cookies, if using.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
- Remove from oven to cool on the pan at least 15 minutes before touching or removing. Enjoy right away or store in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
