(Optional but recommended: pinch of salt or vanilla extract for extra depth)

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.

What to Serve with Flourless Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies shine with:

  • A warm cup of coffee
  • Almond milk or oat milk
  • Fresh fruit
  • A drizzle of extra tahini

Or honestly? Straight off the tray… no judgment here.

Tips for Making Them Perfect

From my kitchen secrets:

  • Stir tahini well before using (oil separation matters!)
  • Don’t overbake—they should stay soft
  • 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.

General Information

Tahini—made from ground sesame seeds—is a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine, often used in savory dishes and desserts alike.

In baking, it creates a naturally creamy, rich texture that replaces butter beautifully—making these cookies both unique and incredibly satisfying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do they taste like sesame?

Slightly—but it’s mild and pairs beautifully with chocolate.

Can I make them sugar-free?

You can try a sugar-free syrup, but texture may change.

Why are my cookies too soft?

They likely need more cooling time.

Can I use peanut butter instead?

Yes, but flavor will be different (still delicious!).

Are they vegan?

Yes, if using maple syrup and dairy-free chocolate.

Conclusion

These flourless tahini chocolate chip cookies are proof that simple ingredients can create something truly special. Soft, chewy, rich, and incredibly easy—they’re the kind of recipe you’ll make again and again.
