Big fan of tahini right here. It’s one of those underrated ingredients that can be added to so many dishes…and desserts. If you’re a fan of sweet and savory then you will definitely be a fan of these cookies.
The saltiness of the tahini pairs perfectly with the caramel notes of coconut sugar and maple syrup.
If you really want to elevate these cookies I suggest dipping half in melted chocolate. Chocolate always makes everything better, right?

Chewy, soft, sesame tahini cookies. The perfect balance of sweet and salty. Also, refined sugar-free and vegan.
- ½ cup softened coconut oil
- ¼ cup tahini
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp non-dairy milk
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Sesame seeds
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer, whisk together the softened coconut oil, tahini, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add flour, baking soda and powder, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. It may seem dry at first, but keep mixing until dough is soft.
-
Using a cookie scoop, scoop even amounts of dough on to the baking sheet. Make a cross-hatch on the top of the cookie, by slightly pressing down in opposite directions with the back of a fork. Sprinkle over a bit of sesame seeds. Bake for 22-24 min. until firm to touch and light golden brown. Let cool for 8 min. before serving.
