- 1/3 cup tahini
- 1.5 cup all purpose flour
- 5 oz dark chocolate
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Granulated salt such as sea salt
In a bowl, mix together flour, cinnamon, and baking soda. In another bowl, beat egg and mix in the white/brown sugar, honey, olive oil, tahini, and vanilla extract. With ¾ of the dark chocolate, chop into small pieces and mix into the wet ingredients.
Fold the dry into wet ingredients, stirring until combined and resembles a wet sand. Now, use an ice cream scoop to scoop out about 10-12 balls, placing on a dish. With remaining chocolate pieces, chop into medium-sized pieces and carefully press about 2-4 pieces into the top of each dough ball.
Place this dish in the fridge for a couple hours and when ready, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place dough balls on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets (leaving sufficient room between them) and sprinkle tops with a pinch of granulated salt.
Bake for ~12 minutes. Remove from oven and drop baking sheet on counter top a few times to flatten out the cookies. Let cool on a cooling rack before serving.
