Gluten-free chocolate chip tahini cookies with crispy toppings, crunchy edges and chewy centers! Tahini is the secret ingredient here that brings richness to the entire baked good with a mild nutty taste that isn’t overpowering at all!
When it comes to cookies, I prefer chewy over crunchy! These are thick, chewy and met all the favorite textures I love about a cookie! These are made with almond flour so it’s gluten free.
The tahini and almond flour both contribute to a mild sweet nutty taste which makes this cookie unique!
I recommend using smooth tahini in this recipe. If you tahini isn’t too runny, you may need to add in 1-2 teaspoons almond milk. Add in milk as needed when all ingredients are combined! The cookie dough should be a bit sticky but still scoop-able onto a baking sheet.
Tahini is ground sesame seeds. It’s similar in consistency of nut butter, packed with protein, fiber and healthy fats!
