How to Make Flourless Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Let’s make these together—you won’t believe how fast this comes together.
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a bowl, mix tahini and maple syrup until smooth and glossy.
Step 3: Add Chocolate Chips
Fold in chocolate chips gently. Try not to eat all of them before baking… I always struggle here
Step 4: Shape Cookies
Scoop small portions onto the tray and flatten slightly—they won’t spread much.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
Step 6: Cool
Let them cool completely—they firm up into that perfect chewy texture.

Tips for Making Them Perfect
From my kitchen secrets:
- Stir tahini well before using (oil separation matters!)

- Let them cool fully before moving
- Use good-quality chocolate chips
- Sprinkle flaky salt on top for bakery vibes
Storage Instructions
- Room temperature: 3–4 days
- Fridge: up to 1 week
- Freezer: up to 2 months
Warm slightly before eating for that fresh-baked feel.

Why are my cookies too soft?
