Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)

• 1/2 cup tahini

• 3/4 cup sugar

• 3/4 cup brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 2 eggs

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 16 ounces chocolate chips (12 ounces of semisweet and 4 ounces of milk chocolate)

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper sheets.

2. In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, mix butter, tahini, sugar, and brown sugar until incorporated.

3. Add in vanilla, and eggs, one at a time, mixing until smooth and all lumps are gone.

4. In a separate medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt until combined.

5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet all at once. Mix just until there is no more visible flour in the dough or on the bottom of the bowl (do not over-mix).

6. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.

7. Drop dough (using a cookie scoop or rounded tablespoon) onto baking sheet, spacing balls about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake cookies until golden-brown, about 9-11 minutes.
