Salted Tahini Honey Chocolate Chunk Cookies are chewy, nutty, and perfectly balanced with rich dark chocolate and a hint of sea salt. These cookies offer a sophisticated twist on the classic chocolate chip cookie, with tahini adding a deep, toasty flavor.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, tahini, honey, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in dark chocolate chunks.
  7. Scoop dough into heaping tablespoon-sized balls and place on prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  8. Sprinkle tops with flaky sea salt.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are just set.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra texture, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Use good-quality tahini for best flavor—smooth and not bitter.
  • These cookies will continue to firm up slightly as they cool.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
