Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup well-stirred tahini
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Beat in the tahini, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, fold until just combined, then stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set and golden.
  5. Sprinkle warm cookies with flaky sea salt, let rest on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Make sure your tahini is well-stirred before measuring.
