Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup organic tahini mixed prior to adding
  • 1/4 cup organic coconut oil solid but soft (room temp)
  • 3/4 cup unrefined coconut sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fine-blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp fine-grain sea salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (I use 85%) 

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Beat together the tahini and coconut oil until smooth – I used a hand mixer for this. Then, beat in the coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla.
3. Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl (except for chocolate chips) then add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix well until a sticky dough forms.
4. Stir in the chocolate chips, then chill the dough for about 10 minutes. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop dough into 16 balls. Flatten each one and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until just set.
5. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to fully cool. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
