Description
Toasted coconut chocolate chip cookies combine the rich flavors of chocolate and the tropical essence of coconut, creating a chewy and crunchy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
- ½ cup tahini (120 g)
- ¾ cup brown sugar (150 g), packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 g)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (5 g)
- ½ teaspoon salt (3 g)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (175 g)
- ½ cup toasted coconut flakes (40 g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine tahini, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, mixing until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips and toasted coconut flakes until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear set but slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a nut-free option, replace tahini with sunflower seed butter.
- Use coconut flour for a gluten-free version, adjusting the liquid accordingly.
- Swap brown sugar for coconut sugar for a lower glycemic index option.
- For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water).
