Put a spin on the classic chocolate chip cookie with the addition of tahini and add in coconut butter for a dose of healthy fat.
Ingredients
  • 120g white tahini
  • 60g coconut butter (NOT oil)
  • 80g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 45g erythritol (or monk fruit or coconut sugar)
  • 2 TBS arrowroot
  • 3 – 4 TBS unsweetened COLD plant milk
  • ½ tspn baking soda
  • ½ tspn powdered vanilla
  • pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven a 180°C.
  2. In a high speed blender, turn erythritol (or monk fruit or coconut sugar) into a fine powder.
  3. In a bowl, mix together tahini and coconut butter (You want to use creamy, room temperature coconut butter. Otherwise, its better if it’s super hard and you have work a bit more to incorporate it with tahini. You cannot use melted or warm coconut butter.)
  4. Add powdered erythritol and mix again.
  5. Add arrowroot, baking soda, vanilla, salt and mix.
  6. Add plant milk and mix once again.
  7. Throw in chopped chocolate and mix.
  8. If mixture is too runny, allow to rest it in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  9. With your hands shape 12 balls and lightly press them with your hands (not too much, they’re already going to melt in the oven).
  10. Bake for 12 minutes.
  11. Turn out of the oven and wait for them to be completely cooled down before touching/removing them from the tray since they need to set up first.
