My most favorite twist on the Life Changing Chocolate Chip Cookies yet…the raw dough you see right here never made it into the oven last night, because it was so damn good, I couldn’t stop eating it. And when I couldn’t fall asleep until 2 AM, only then did it dawn on me that maybe eating espresso infused dough at night wasn’t the smartest idea. Live and Learn. Follow instructions for the Life Changing Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies and add 2 tablespoons espresso to the batter and sprinkle a little extra on top. Eat preferably during the day time or limit consumption to 1-2 cookies, so you don’t have trouble sleeping.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup tahini
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 heaping cup of Enjoy Life Foods dairy free mini chocolate chips
- 1 scoop collagen peptides (optional, but great source of protein)
- 2 tbsp espresso + extra for sprinkling
- sea salt flakes for topping
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium size bowl, mix together the almond flour, tahini, maple syrup, collagen peptides (if using), and chocolate chips! *The dough should be thick. If it's not, add a little bit more almond flour.
- Mix to ensure everything is coated well, and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Do not skip this step!
- While the dough is chilling, preheat oven to 350.
- Remove bowl from the refrigerator, and add the egg and baking soda. Mix together until fully incorporated.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop dough and form cookies.
- Depending on the size of your cookies, you will get 10-12.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cookies settle before eating!
- The key with these cookies is to slightly undercook them, so that they are nice and crispy on the outside and SUPER CHEWY on the inside.
- Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top.

When do you add the espresso and is it powdered or liquid?
Hi Janet! Powdered espresso!!!
Is the tahini a paste or powder?
What type of Maple syrup do you use for your recipes?
Will leaving out the espresso affect the taste too much? I want to make these for my kids!
Hi Cassondra, you can leave them out! It won’t affect the taste. Maybe separate some and add the espresso for you. 😉
Hello! When is the espresso added? I don’t see it anywhere in the instructions but I would assume with the egg mixture as it’s also a liquid?
Thanks!
Hi Nicole! You don’t mention if instant espresso powder or actual liquid espresso. The directions don’t mention when to add it either. Thank you for the clarity!
Hi Shannon, it uses powdered espresso / instant coffee ☻
