Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup tahini
½ cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
3 Tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cardamom
¾ teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups chocolate chips
2 Tablespoons white sesame seeds
2 teaspoons coarse or flaky salt
Preparation
In a mixing bowl, cream tahini and both sugars together until smooth. Add eggs, cold water, almond and vanilla extracts. In a medium bowl, sift together salt, baking soda, cardamom, and flour. Add to the wet mixture and mix until just smooth. Fold in chocolate chips.
Drop by tablespoons onto a parchment lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart. For big cookies, use ¼ cup measure. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and press gently. Bake at 375 for 8-11 minutes until just set. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle each with a pinch of flaky salt. Serve warm.
