Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup tahini adds a nutty flavor and richness
  • 1/3 cup honey natural sweetener that keeps cookies moist
  • 2 sticks salted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar enhances sweetness and adds chewiness
  • 1/4 cup honey for extra sweetness and moisture
  • 1/4 cup tahini to intensify the nutty flavor
  • 1 large egg binds the ingredients together
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract adds warmth and depth of flavor
  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour the base of the cookie dough
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda helps cookies rise and become fluffy
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon adds a warm, cozy flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt balances the sweetness
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips for that classic chocolatey goodness
  • flaky salt to sprinkle on top for that sweet and salty contrast

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Silicone spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the room temperature salted butter, dark brown sugar, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1/4 cup of tahini. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop heaping portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Before baking, sprinkle a pinch of flaky salt on top of each cookie dough ball.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use high-quality tahini for the best flavor.
  • Opt for raw or local honey to enhance sweetness.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
