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.
Chocolate Tahini Cookies Grainfree Oilfree Nutfree
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.

I subbed 4 TBSP of almond flour instead of the coconut flour and tapioca flour.
They turned out really good- some of the best cookies I’ve managed to make so far vegan or not.
Very fudgy, chewy but crisp on the outside.
I usually find the flavour of tahini to be quite average, however, it’s flavour in these cookies was mellowed and very pleasant.
Thank you for the recipe.
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing.
I love this recipe I make it all the time! I always double the recipe.
So happy you enjoyed it!
Do you think I could use black tahini in these cookies? I have a whole jar and am trying to find ways to use it.
Yes, black tahini can be used in this recipe. The cookies will have more toasty and slightly bitter flavor. Enjoy!
These are one of the best vegan cookies I’ve ever had. They amaze even my non vegan friends. They are very rich almost brownie/fudge like but have a nice cookie texture somewhat like old fashioned peanut butter cookies. I like to add chopped walnuts instead of coconut as an option. The walnut really balance the flavors well.
great news Rana
These look great! I would like to make them several days ahead for a party. Do they freeze well? Thanks!
actually, yes
Made these cookies a hundred times, I think 🙈
Love them! I would like to give them as a gift but I’ll have to make them in advance and not sure how long they can be stored? (These are devoured within two days here so couldnt test this yet)
a hundred ! 💯💯💯💯💯 you could keep on counter if you’re not in a hot climate – but will last longer in the fridge
