Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine tahini, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and well incorporated.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until completely blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together rolled oats, chopped walnuts, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a consistent dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a fork or your palm, creating a slight crisscross pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear set.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients, especially eggs and tahini, to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the walnuts before chopping to enhance their nutty profile.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes, ensuring even baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the wire rack to develop their perfect crisp-yet-chewy texture.
- For a gourmet touch, sprinkle some sea salt on top of the cookies right after baking.
- Store cookies between parchment paper layers to prevent sticking and maintain freshness.
