Salted Tahini Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are chewy, nutty, and rich with deep flavor thanks to the combination of tahini and browned butter. Finished with flaky sea salt, these cookies are an elevated twist on the classic chocolate chip treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup tahini (well-stirred)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips or chunks (dark or semisweet)
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and cook until golden brown and fragrant, about 3–5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine browned butter, tahini, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until smooth.
  3. Mix in egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually stir into the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips. Chill dough for 30 minutes for best results.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop dough into heaping tablespoon-sized balls and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
  8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are just set.
  9. Cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use runny tahini for best texture and smooth mixing.
  • Browning the butter adds a nutty, rich depth to the cookies.
  • These cookies freeze well both raw and baked.
  • Let the dough chill longer for thicker cookies and intensified flavor.
