Ingredients
Scale
- 1 TBS ground flax + 3 TBS water (flax egg), or one regular egg
- 1/2 cup refined coconut oil, soft
- 1/2 cup tahini, runny
- 1 cup brown sugar, unpacked
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 TBS cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt, plus more for topping
- 1/2 tsp each baking soda and baking powder
- 1 large chocolate bar, cut into chunks (or 1/2 –1 cup chocolate chips, depending on preference)
Instructions
- In a small cup, mix ground flax and water and set aside to gel. In a large bowl, cream together coconut oil, tahini, and sugar until thoroughly combined. Add flax egg, almond milk, and vanilla and stir once more until incorporated.
- In a smaller bowl, combine flour of choice, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Slowly add wet to dry, taking care not to over-mix. Fold in chocolate chunks. Your dough should appear thick but should stick together when pressed.
- Place dough in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes and up to one day. During this time you can preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Form 15 medium-sized cookies. Place dough balls on two oiled baking sheets, leaving space in between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes, remove from oven, sprinkle with a little salt, and let cool on tray for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with more salt. The cookies will cook a little more as they rest.
- Enjoy!
