Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie – Gluten Free Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

If you like soft but chewy cookies then this is the recipe for you! These Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies have a delicious nuttiness from the tahini and lots of chocolate chunks. I took this recipe from Chef Shane Smith, here. I made a few small adjustments to it which I have included in my recipe below.

How do I make these Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies from scratch?

This cookie recipe is so simple. Start off by melting your butter. To this, add the egg, tahini, soft light brown sugar and vanilla. Mix well and add the ground almonds, gluten free flour and bread soda. Stir again until mostly combined. Add the chocolate chunks and mix fully. Divide the dough into 9 pieces, around 60 grams each. Roll these into a ball and pop onto a lined baking tray. Put these in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. Place the cold cookie dough balls out of the freezer, place on flat baking trays with plenty of space in between and flatten slightly. Add a few more chocolate chunks to the top and bake. When still warm, sprinkle with sea salt.

Equipment

  • Microwavable bowl
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Flat baking trays
  • Rubber spatula

Ingredients

  • 20 grams butter
  • 100 grams soft light brown sugar
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 95 grams tahini
  • 70 grams ground almonds
  • 55 grams gluten free flour (I used rice)
  • 1/4 tsp bread soda
  • 90 grams milk chocolate chunks/chips plus 20g extra for decoration

Instructions

  • In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter.
  • Add the eggs, sugar, tahini and vanilla and mix well.
  • Add the flour, ground almonds and bread soda and half mix in. Add the chocolate chips/chunks and mix in fully.
  • Divide into 9 balls (about 60grams each) and roll slightly. Pop onto a baking tray and chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven while waiting to 180°c (380°f) or 170°c (340°f) if fan assisted.
  • Remove the cookie dough from the freezer and re roll into a ball. Place these balls with plenty of space onto a flat lined baking tray and flatten down slightly.
  • Add the extra chocolate chunks/chips on top for extra pretty cookies. (They will still taste amazing without!)
  • Pop into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they have spread out completely and started to get a nice golden brown colour around the edges. Sprinkle sea salt on top of the warm cookies. Allow to cool before removing from the tray.

  • these look really good! is it possible to use only almond flour instead of adding in a second type of gf flour?

    • Hi Ilana,

      Thanks so much for your comment!
      Yes, I believe it will work with just almond flour however you may want to chill the cookie dough before rolling it into balls in the fridge for 15-29 minutes as I think the dough will be quite soft.
      The cookies may be a little more on the cakier side too but I believe it will work just fine otherwise. :)

      Thanks,
      Rosie
