Time 12h23m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
1/2 cup tahini (well stirred)
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, or bowl of a stand mixer (fitted with paddle attachment), cream the butter, tahini, and sugars. Beat on medium speed for 3-4 mins, scrape down the bowl 1-2 times during the creaming process. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and beat until combined.
  • In a medium bowl whisk the salt, soda, powder, and flour. Transfer to the wet ingredients and mix till combined.
  • Mix in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 12 hours (helps bind the cookies).
  • Remove from fridge, scoop into 2 T sized balls (will make about 14-18 balls).
  • Place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 325°F for 13-15minutes. Cookies are done when the edges are getting lightly golden brown but still pale in the middles. Remove, let rest on sheet for 5 mins then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

SALTED CHOCOLATE CHIP TAHINI COOKIES



Salted Chocolate Chip Tahini Cookies image

Adapted from Modern Israeli Cooking: 100 New Recipes for Traditional Classics by Danielle Oron. I used chopped chocolate, rather than chocolate chips, for these cookies since I wanted large chunks of oozing chocolate rather than little bits of chocolate here and there. (But feel free to use chips if you'd like.) Normally when I chop chocolate for cookies, I add any small bits and pieces on the cutting board along with the bigger chunks. But for these, I wanted distinct, more assertive pieces of chocolate, so I sorted through and just used large chunks, saving the smaller bits for another baking project. I baked these cookies in a larger size, then tried them in smaller portions, and give baking times for each. Whichever size you bake them in, since everyone's oven is different, it's important to use visual clues rather than rely on precise minutes and numbers to tell when they're done. Keep an eye on them during the final minutes of baking; the cookies are done when quite pale in the center and browned around the edges. Note that the dough is best when it rests in the refrigerator overnight. You could bake them sooner, if you just can't wait.

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 tablespoons (115g, 4 ounces) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1/2 cup (120ml) tahini (well stirred)
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (90g) packed light brown sugar
1 large egg (at room temperature)
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (150g) flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
2 cups (280g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips)
flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, tahini, granulated sugar and brown sugar on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until fluffy. (The dough can also be made in a large mixing bowl, stirred with a spatula.)
  • Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides. Add the egg, the yolk, and vanilla, and continue to mix for another minute, stopping the mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl during mixing, to make sure the eggs are getting incorporated.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher or sea salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients until just combined, then add the chocolate chips. Do not overmix. Cover the dough and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 325ºF (160ºC). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Form the cookies into rounds using an ice cream scoop, or your hands. For small cookies make each 1 1/2-inch (3,5cm), for larger cookies, make them 2-inches (5cm) round. Place them evenly spaced on the baking sheets, 3-inches (8cm) apart). Bake one sheet at a time, so you can keep an eye on them, in the middle rack of the oven.
  • Bake the cookies, turning the baking sheet in the oven midway during baking, until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but still pale in the center. For small cookies, about 12 minutes, for larger cookies, about 14 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle cookies with a bit of flaky sea salt, and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet. Bake the remaining cookies the same way.
