My previous entry was about ‘ not your regular peanut butter cookie ” . In my attempt to make peanut butter cookie slightly healthier so that we all can be happy and able eat 2-3 cookies at once , i replaced peanut butter with tahini . Tahini is\u00a0 sesame paste , it comes in a jar , the regular grocery store probably carry it these days , long ago\u00a0 I had to get it from middle eastern grocery store . But i saw it at Kroger not too long ago . I use this usually to make hummus . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So today i wanted to make something with more chocolate flavor , but i wasn’t willing to put too much chocolate chip to make a batch of cookie . I ended up using tahini paste with dutch processed cocoa powder . I really like the flavor of this cookie , it is very nutty and chocolatey sweet treats . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
It didn’t take too much mess to make and it didn’t take that long either , as soon as these cookies were done , i took it to upstairs , my husband’s office , since he’s been working from home since quarantine started , he said i probably shouldn’t make this too often because he’d be finishing the whole batch himself LOL .. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients : <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
1\/4 cup old fashioned oats <\/li>
1\/4 cup almond flour <\/li>
1\/2 cup of light brown sugar , don’t pack them <\/li>
3 tbsp all purpose flour <\/li>
1 tbsp dutch processed cocoa powder ( i used Hershey’s ) <\/li>
1\/2 tsp baking powder<\/li>
1\/4 tsp kosher salt<\/li>
1 large egg <\/li>
80 grams tahini paste <\/li>
1\/4 tsp vanilla extract<\/li>
splash of almond milk ( if necessary , if batter is too dry ) <\/li>
4 tbsp of\u00a0 mini dark chocolate chip ( or chopped them up ) <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Directions : <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
In a medium mixing bowl , add all the dry ingredients and whisk . Flour , almond flour , brown sugar , old fashioned oats , baking powder salt and cocoa powder , mix well with wooden spoon is fine .<\/li>
In a small bowl beat egg , add vanilla and tahini paste . Mix well . <\/li>
Then add the egg , vanilla extract and tahini paste mixture into dry ingredients , continue stirring it with spoon or whisk until it’s all combined . Add in the chocolate and mix well .<\/li>
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper , drop per 1 tbsp exactly on the parchment paper lined sheet . <\/li>
This will make about 16 cookies . You can add 1 piece of chocolate chip on each cookie , sprinkle with sesame seed and flatten it up with fork lightly .<\/li>
Bake at 375 F , for about 14 minutes , rotate half way through <\/li>
Cool on baking rack <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
