Servings
20 cookies
Cook Time
30 minutes
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
10 Tbsp salted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup light brown sugar, loosely packed
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 ounces chopped dark chocolate
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
⅓ cup milk chocolate chips
Flakey sea salt for finishing, optional
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate larger mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and tahini until smooth. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and whisk until smooth and combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet, folding together with a rubber spatula until combined. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes to allow the butter and tahini to absorb into the flour. Fold in the chopped dark chocolate, semisweet chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips.
Scoop dough onto a baking sheet in 1½ – 2 tablespoon sized balls. Press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies, if desired. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden on the edges. Let the cookies rest for 3-4 minutes on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaky salt and transfer to a cooking rack to cool, or enjoy warm!

These look very similar to my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. I like that these have less butter (made up for by the tahini I think) so I will give them a try. I would appreciate measurements in both volume (cups) and weight (grams or ounces). Thanks for what looks like a delicious recipe!
