Tahini can be added into so many recipes from hummus to baked goods and these Flourless Almond Butter-Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies are so terrific and you can stir them up in just one bowl.
I like to think these cookies are a bit healthier because they don’t contain any butter or additional oil of any kind. Almond butter provides the creamy texture that a good cookie requires. The combination of tahini with almond butter enhances nuttiness, while adding extra flavor.
These cookies are easy to bake in no time — just seven ingredients and one bowl for great cookies.
