Description
A cookie recipe that doesn't call for a hand mixer? Sign me in!! All you need to mix these double chocolate chip cookies is a wooden spoon (or whisk), so no beaters to clean up. A little sweet, a little salty, a little nutty, and super fudgy, they might become your new favorite this holiday season!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour, you may use white whole wheat or all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
- 1 flax egg ( 1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) or one large egg
- 1/3 cup tahini
- Himalayan pink salt, any other flaky salt or whatever salt you have on hand
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- Combine the flour, 2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder and baking powder in a medium bowl and sift. Add the chocolate chips and mix again. Set aside
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil and brown sugar until dissolved. Add the maple syrup, vanilla and the remaining 2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder and whisk well. Add the flax egg and continue whisking
- Add the flour mixture and mix using a wooden spoon, until just incorporated. Add the tahini and mix slightly, so it's not completely blended with the dough (so you can see tahini swirls )
- Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and place them on the lined baking sheet, about an inch apart.
- Flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand and sprinkle some salt on top (to taste). Bake for 12 minutes (see note 1) and let them cool completely
Notes
- With this baking time, the cookies will be soft and fudgy. For dryer cookies, bake them for 2 extra minutes
- Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
- These cookies freeze really well in an airtight container. For that freshly baked taste microwave frozen cookies for 10-15 seconds and enjoy warm
