Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup well-stirred tahini
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp ground flaxseed
6 tbsp water (for flax egg)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1.5 cups vegan dark chocolate chips
1/4 tsp flaky sea salt

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2

Make the flax egg: stir together 2 tbsp ground flaxseed and 6 tbsp water (for flax egg) in a small bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes until thickened and gel-like.
3

In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup well-stirred tahini, 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg until smooth and creamy.
4

Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/2 tsp salt to the bowl. Stir until just combined into a soft dough. Fold in 1.5 cups vegan dark chocolate chips.
5

Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your palm.
6

Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt.
7

Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underdone. They firm up as they cool.
8

Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
