These cookies are incredibly easy, and so incredibly delicious. You can substitute almond butter or peanut butter for the tahini if you like. This makes two huge cookies.
Yield
2 5" Cookies
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons tahini
- 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 Tablespoons whole grain spelt flour
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of sea salt
- 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Whisk together tahini, maple syrup and vanilla in a bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, baking soda, sea salt and chocolate chips.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Divide the dough into 2 even portions. Roll gently in your hands, and then flatten gently onto the baking sheet to about ½" thick.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until just starting to brown on the edges/bottoms. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to firm up before moving them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
