Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 13-14
Ingredients
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 cup fine almond flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. sea salt
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ cup runny tahini (I used 365 brand)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbs. nondairy milk
  • 2 Tbs. brown rice syrup
  • ⅓ cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 1-2 Tbs sesame seeds for sprinkling on top (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, beat together the coconut sugar, tahini, vanilla, milk, and brown rice syrup until combined and fluffy. Gradually add the dry mixture and beat until a dough forms. If the bottom of your mixing bowl looks dry/powdery (depends on how runny your tahini is), add another teaspoon of milk and beat again.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop out balls of dough -- roughly 2 Tbs. each -- and place them onto the baking pan 2 inches apart. Gently flatten them with your fingers so they resemble patties and top with more chocolate chips and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.
  5. Bake 9-10 mins, then allow to cool on the baking sheet 10 mins before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
It's important to use runny tahini, not tahini that is difficult to stir. Because tahini consistencies vary, you may have to adjust the liquid ratios a bit to get the proper dough consistency.

These cookies are best if eaten within a day or two of making them, but they are still good 3-4 days after!
