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.

Questions

Can I make Vegan Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 2 cups all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Vegan Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies keep?

Store it airtight: two to three days at room temperature or up to a week refrigerated. It freezes for up to two months; thaw at room temperature.

Can I halve or double Vegan Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Yes. As written it serves 24. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
