These simple one bowl Double Chocolate Tahini Cookies have a crisp outside with a soft chewy inside. Oozing with dark chocolate and a hint of nutty tahini, they are sure to satisfy all of your chocolate cravings!
These cookies remind me a lot of brownies. The batter has a similar consistency and when baked they have the same irresistible fudgy texture.
Tahini is the key ingredient in this recipe. Its creamy and oily consistency gives the cookies crackly tops while keeping the inside soft and moist. No other oil is needed!
What I love about these cookies is that they’re so quick and easy to make. All you need is 1 bowl, 7 ingredients and 10 minutes to bake. That’s it! In 20 minutes you have warm, soft cookies oozing with melted dark chocolate!
And to top it off, I like to sprinkle them with a bit of chunky sea salt straight out of the oven. It’s an irresistible combo and eating them warm is absolutely divine!

Double Chocolate Tahini Cookies
Ingredients
wet
- 1/2 cup runny tahini*
- 7 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
dry
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
- 2 tablespoons oat flour*
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a medium sized bowl mix the tahini, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth. Sift in the cocoa powder and stir. Add the oat flour and sea salt and stir until combined. The mixture should be moist and pourable like the consistancy of a brownie batter. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Using two tablespoons scoop out the mixture into rounded balls and place onto a baking tray 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten them with the back of the spoon. Bake for 9-10 minutes. The cookies will spread out and have crinkled tops when done. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Sprinkle with a bit of sea salt if desired. Store in an airtight container for 4-5 days or they can be frozen for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
Notes
Wow, they look irresistible, I’m gonna try them as soon as possible! Can I use rice four instead of oat one?
Hi Iride, I haven’t tried it with rice flour but I think it should work. I find that these cookies are very forgiving. Please let me know how they turn out!
Wow these are delicious! Fudgy, not too sweet, but extra chocolatey. Love the strong tahini flavor. I had to bake 13 min but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Yum!
Thank you so much for your review Danielle! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed them 🙂
Loved them! So fudgy and chocolatey with an evident tahini flavour in there too. Delicious 🙂
I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you so much for the feedback Saf! 🙂
hi do you think almond flour would work ?
They should still work with almond flour but you will need to double the amount to 1/2 cup. If the dough is too thin add a bit more. The texture of the cookies will be slightly different but will still taste great 🙂
I would like to make these, they sound so good and I have runny tahini that needs used, also almond flour. Doubling the 2 T. oat flour would be 1/4 c., as 1/4 cup = 4 T. Just wanting to clarify before I make them. Thanks!
Hi Nancy, use at least 1/2 cup almond flour, you might need a bit more depending how runny your tahini is. The texture of the cookies will be softer without any oat flour, but still very tasty. (I realized I made a mistake in the previous comment by saying double the amount of flour if using almond flour!) Please let me know how they turn out!
I have made these cookies SO many times over the past few years, and I just made them again tonight. It’s my favorite recipe because it’s easy to make (and there’s very little clean-up), it’s relatively healthy, and it’s delicious. Thank you so much for creating this recipe!
Hi KJ, thank you so much for your comment! I’m so happy to hear this! 🙂
