SALTED TAHINI CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies image

When the chef Danielle Oron was growing up in the New Jersey suburbs, she knew that her Israeli family's habits of dousing vanilla ice cream with tahini and spreading halvah on toast would be considered odd. Sesame has long been shunned in American desserts, but its addition to a confection can add a nutty, salty undertone, and sesame desserts are now popping up all over the place. These chocolate chip cookies, developed by Ms. Oron, are a great place to start for the home baker seeking more sesame. Rich, savory and sweet, they are one of the rare variations that are just as good as the original.

Time 45m

Yield 12 to 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces/113 grams unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup/120 milliliters tahini, well stirred
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons/150 grams all-purpose flour, or matzo cake meal (See tip)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups/230 grams chocolate chips or chunks, bittersweet or semisweet
Flaky salt, like fleur de sel or Maldon

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, tahini and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla and continue mixing at medium speed for another 5 minutes.
  • Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and kosher salt into a large bowl and mix with a fork. Add flour mixture to butter mixture at low speed until just combined. Use a rubber spatula to fold in chocolate chips. Dough will be soft, not stiff. Refrigerate at least 12 hours; this ensures tender cookies.
  • When ready to bake, heat oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick baking mat. Use a large ice cream scoop or spoon to form dough into 12 to 18 balls.
  • Place the cookies on the baking sheet at least 3 inches apart to allow them to spread. Bake 13 to 16 minutes until just golden brown around the edges but still pale in the middle to make thick, soft cookies. As cookies come out of the oven, sprinkle sparsely with salt. Let cool at least 20 minutes on a rack.

Time 23m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup tahini ((8 ounces), I used Soom Tahini )
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (more for dusting)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cup bittersweet chocolate chips (I used 60% Cacao bittersweet chocolate chips by chiradelli)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and position a rack in the middle. Line two large baking sheets with parchment.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the tahini, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix with a wooden spoon for a couple of minutes until well combined (the mixture will be crumbly).
  • Add the eggs, 3 tablespoons cold water, and the vanilla extract. Mix for another 2 minutes until well-incorporated (the mixture should be smooth and fudgy).
  • Stir in the salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Add the flour and mix until combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir until well combined.
  • Scoop heaping 1 tablespoons of the dough and arrange them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet pans. Wet the back of a spoon and use it to lightly flatten the tops of the cookie dough portions (you're looking for the dough to be about ½ inch in thickness give or take).
  • Bake on the middle rack for about 8 to 11 minutes, depending on how soft or crunchy you like your cookies. If you like your cookies on the softer side, pull them out sometime around the 8 or 9 minutes and let them cool on the sheet pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets.
  • Dust with more ground cinnamon before serving (optional).
