Triple Chocolate Tahini Cookies (Vegan)

I don’t often make Cookies, but when I do, I go all in. For this Vegan Cookies Recipe, I used chocolate not once, not twice but three times. There is no such thing as ‘too much chocolate‘ and this Vegan Triple Chocolate Tahini Cookies recipe is here to prove it!

Tahini Cookies!? Yes, I was a bit skeptical at first too. I have seen quite a few recipes going around lately and found them very intriguing. When someone says ‘Chocolate Chips Cookies“, you can directly imagine their taste. But Tahini Cookies? Would they be sweet? Would they be savoury? Would they taste like sesame? I obviously had to investigate and find out for myself. Once more, for purely scientific reasons, of course!

What is Tahini?

You may have never heard of Tahini, but if you have ever had Middle Eastern Food, you most definitely have tried it before. Tahini (also known as Tehina) is “a condiment made from toasted ground hulled Sesame Seeds” (hello, Wikipedia!). It is famously used in recipes like Hummus and Babah Ganoush. Although often used in savoury recipe, Tahini can also be used to make sweet treats like Halva or in our case, Tripe Chocolate Tahini Cookies.

I love to use Tahini to make Dressings, Dips or even as a Sauces like the one I made with these incredibly delicious Roasted Eggplant. The Tahini you find in supermarket will usually be a all natural thick ground sesame paste, like this one. To use it as a dressing, you would usually try to make it less thick by mixing it with Olive Oil and Lemon Juice. For this Cookies Recipe though, Tahini is used in its natural thick paste form.

To make these chocolate sesame cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

• Coconut Oil
• Brown Sugar
• Tahini Paste
• Plain Flour
• Unsweetened Cacao Powder
• Cornstarch
• Baking Powder
• Salt
• Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips

Triple Chocolate Sesame Cookies

Everyone who tried these Triple Chocolate Tahini Cookies were blown away by their taste. My fiancé even ranked them as “one of your top 5 recipe this year” (good to know someone is keeping track…)! If you have ever tried (and liked) Halva, it is exactly how those cookies taste. They have a deliciously crumbly texture that is quite honestly addictive. As their name implies, I used Chocolate three times for this Tripe Chocolate Cookies recipe.

The first time was with Cacao Powder in the batter (you should try my favourite Van Houten Belgian Cacao Powder). Secondly, I added small Chocolate Chips in the batter before baking it. I used the same Callebaut 54% Cacao Chocolate that I had used to make the chocolate ganache of my Chocolate Shortbread Cookie Sandwiches. If you would like an even stronger chocolate taste, you can also try the 70% Cacao version used in my Dark Chocolate Mousse. Lastly, I drizzled some Melted Chocolate (the same Callebaut 54% Cacao) on the Cookies once out of the oven. I also topped them with Sesame Seeds to bring a nice crunchy garnish.

How to make these Vegan Chocolate Cookies:

1. Melt the Coconut Oil if in solid form, then whisk with the Brown Sugar.
2. Stir in the Tahini Paste.
3. Add the Dry Ingredients: Flour, Cacao Powder, Cornstarch, Baking Powder and Salt.
4. Fold in the Chocolate Chips.
5. Make small balls of cookie dough then gently flatten them with your hands. Place them on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes
6. Drizzle the Chocolate Ganache over the cool cookies and sprinkle some Sesame Seeds to finish the cookies.
