What to expect from these double chocolate tahini cookies? These are not your regular chocolate cookies. I know this because hubbs came home, saw them, picked one up to take a big bite, then you should have seen his face. Then he looked at the cookie as if to ask what the heck is going on. But the texture was too good, so he took another bite, then another and then he was like what are these! I love the damn texture, so melt in the mouth! And the bitter flavor is growing on me. Soon the batch was all gone before I could even explain.
These are like peanut butter cookies which are just peanut butter and sweetener. If you dislike peanut butter, you might not like pb cookies. Similarly, you might find the mellow tahini flavor intrusive here. Its a balanced tahini chocolate flavor. You can use tahini + nut butter for less tahini profile. The added coconut and a sprinkle of salt on top (thank you Lucy!) helps reduce the flavor too.Â
Chocolate Tahini Cookies Grainfree Oilfree Nutfree
Ingredients Â
- 1/2 cup tahini, stirred
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar, or other fine sugar of choice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp non dairy milk, room temperature
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1.5 tbsp coconut flour, (see notes for subs)
- 1 tbsp tapioca starch, or other starch
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
InstructionsÂ
- Preheat the oven to 350 deg F (180 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Mix the tahini, sugar, vanilla, non-dairy milk until well combined. Do not over mix as the tahini will seize into a stiff mixture.Â
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix gently. (You can also add in 1/4 cup shredded coconut at this point). Add in the chocolate chips and fold in.
- Shape into flattened cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet. Press a few chocolate chips on the top if needed. (You can also sprinkle some maldon salt on top and press in. Salt helps reduce the bitter profile).
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 mins** Cool for 2 mins then remove from the baking sheet and allow to cool down completely before serving. Â

These look very addictive!!
Do you think I can substitute the sugar with maple syrup? If so how much should I use?
First time I comment but I just love your creative recipes 🙂
maple will add a lot morre moisturee. Add a bit more coconut flour
Thanks, I will try this way!
The best grain free vegan cookie recipes I’ve ever made! These are SO good. I tried to have just one and it did not work at all. This will be my new go to recipe for sure.
yay!
What brand of cocoa powder do you use?
whole foods brand
Thank you. That seems to Dutch processed right?
Is it interchangeable with natural cocoa?
Yes that one is processed with alkali. You can use either in the cookies depending on your flavor preference.
Devine! the cookies are so rich and have the most perfect texture. I can’t wait to feed these to everyone!!!
thanks!
This are so delicious
I just made these & I can’t stop eating them! They are so yummy and easy to make
Thank you so much for share your recipe 💕💕💕
Just made these, super tasty and quick to make. I love tahini and chocolate together!
I used rice flour instead of coconut and it worked great :–)
awesome!
Loved these cookies, they are so tasty and guilt free! I used spelt flour and added chopped roasted hazelnuts instead of chocolate chips and they are amazing!
awesome!
Love these! The salt on top is a perfect finish!
definitely
Amazing cookies, next time I definitely need to double the recipe, one dozen is not enough!
yay
I just made these & so yummy!(: I have become obsessed with tahini..it goes with anything. I love trader joes brand.
I didnt have chocolate chips so didnt use but I topped with some with shredded coconut, some sesame seeds, and some sea salt, and some with cacao nibs! I like crunchy cookies so cooked longer and thinner, these rolled out nicely and cut into hearts. thank you Richa!!!! lots of love
great idea!
Love these so much! Just curious what other starches can replace the tapioca starch. Would arrow root work? Thanks!
yes
