Calories 219kcal
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons salted butter at room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups gluten free flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line 1 or 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In bowl of stand mixer (you can also use a large bowl and hand mixer), mix butter and sugars on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add tahini, honey, egg and vanilla and mix on low for 30 seconds.
- Add gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix on low or stir just until combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Use a standard cookie scoop and leave 2-3 inches between cookies because they will spread.
- Bake at 350 for 7 minutes. The edges should be a golden brown, with centers that are still a bit gooey.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a good 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- I like to sprinkle flaky salt on top before the chocolate sets.
- IF you have any leftovers, you can store them in a Ziploc or an airtight container on the counter for several days. They will stay soft!
Notes
- I like Namaste flour best in this recipe, you can get it for a great price at Costco.
- Yes, there really is 1 tablespoon of vanilla. Trust!
- I always recommend weighing ingredients using a simple kitchen scale. Toggle the recipe to metric just above the ingredients to use weight.
- If you’re allergic to sesame, you can substitute any nut or seed butter for the tahini. Sunbutter would probably give you the most similar taste.
- Honey improves the texture and keeps gluten free cookies soft longer. If you don’t eat honey, you can substitute with real maple syrup.
