How to Make Salted Dark Chocolate Tahini Cookies For a Delicious Dessert

Today's Recipe of the Day is dark chocolate tahini cookies with rich buttery flavors but made entirely with plant-based ingredients to easily fool any cookie monster.

These chocolate cookies call for half a cup of tahini, a sesame seed spread that binds together the almond flour and other ingredients, making it a healthier egg alternative. When you take a bite into these cookies, you'll taste that melt-in-your-mouth gooey texture from the tahini, and hints of sweet chocolate notes from the cocoa powder and chips.

Tahini not only tastes delicious but it's also rich in antioxidants and full of vitamins and minerals, helping to reduce inflammation in our bodies. The sesame seed spread is also high in fiber, 100 grams contains 9 grams of fiber, supporting healthy digestion.

The best part about this recipe is that the instructions are simple to follow and the cookies bake for only seven minutes, an easy one for children to handle or anyone who can't wait to get their sweet fix. When the timer goes off at seven minutes, notice the golden brown edges and gooey center of your cookies and let them cool down for at least eight minutes. In the meantime, make a delicious dairy-free filling and create a cookie sandwich. Enjoy!
