Sweetened with maple syrup and optionally boosted with collagen peptides, these cookies have a perfect balance of crisp edges and chewy centers.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 heaping cup chocolate chips
  • 1 scoop collagen peptides (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup tahini (preferably liquid-y like Soom Foods tahini)
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg

Topping

  • Sea salt flakes for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Initial Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, tahini, maple syrup, collagen peptides if using, and chocolate chips. Stir until the mixture is thick and all ingredients are evenly coated. If the dough feels too loose, add a bit more almond flour to thicken.
  3. Chill the Dough: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This step is crucial to help the dough firm up, improving cookie texture.
  4. Preheat Oven: While chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature before baking.
  5. Add Egg and Baking Soda: Remove the dough from the refrigerator, add the egg and baking soda, and mix thoroughly until fully incorporated.
  6. Form Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out and shape 16 cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 11 minutes. Aim to slightly undercook them for a crispy exterior and super chewy interior.
  8. Cool and Salt: Remove from oven and let the cookies settle on the baking sheet before moving to a cooling rack. Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top to finish.
  9. Enjoy: Serve and enjoy these deliciously chewy and nutty tahini chocolate chip cookies!

Notes

  • Using liquid-y tahini ensures the right dough consistency; thicker tahini may require adjustments.
  • Chilling the dough is a key step for texture; do not skip it.
  • Underbaking slightly is intentional to keep the center chewy.
  • Collagen peptides are optional but add protein and a nutritional boost.
  • Almond flour makes this recipe gluten-free and gives a tender crumb.
