What You’ll Need (Ingredients)
To make these delightful cookies, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut flour or almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
Step-by-Step Directions
Turn 1: Preheat the oven.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is important for getting those perfect cookies.
Turn 2: Mix wet ingredients.
In a large bowl, combine tahini, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until it is smooth and creamy.
Turn 3: Add dry ingredients.
Next, add the coconut flour, baking soda, and salt to the tahini mixture. Stir gently until everything is combined. It should create a dough that feels slightly thick.
Turn 4: Fold in chocolate chips.
Now, it’s the moment you have been waiting for! Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips, distributing them evenly through the dough.
Turn 5: Scoop onto a baking sheet.
Use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of dough. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, giving them a little space between each one.
Turn 6: Bake.
Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them until the edges turn lightly golden.
Turn 7: Cool down.
After baking, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
