Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies

A little bit like peanut butter chocolate chip cookies - but different ...Grandma likes them - but as I'm on a diet I didn't get to taste them properly.

From : NYT

4 oz unsalted butter

1/2 cup tahini, well stirred

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 egg yolk

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup + 2 tablespoons/150g flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp kosher salt

1 3/4 chocolate chips (dark)/230g

Cream butter, tahini and sugar until fluffy - about 5 minutes

Add egg, yolk and vanilla and beat about 5 more minutes

Mix flour, baking soda and baking salt, add to bowl and mix it all up on low speed just until combined.

Add chocolate chips with rubber spatula or spoon or fork or whatever

Refrigerate for at least 12 hours - I did this for 2 days

When you are ready to bake - heat oven to 325F

Either line cookie sheet with parchment paper or grease pan

Drop cookies fairly far apart as they spread - I did heaping tablespoons

If the batter is too thick to spoon, let it warm to room temperature

Bake for 13 - 16 minutes
