Welcome to the only cookie you need in your life, my Life Changing Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies, a recipe with "Life Changing" in its title for very good reason. These cookies are truly life changing!

They are paleo-friendly, gluten-free, grain-free, and they can be made vegan and nut-free too, which means that people with various food aversions, allergies, and what not, will likely have their lives changed too. And that texture? They are lightly crispy on the outside, perfectly soft and chewy on the inside, and they melt in your mouth.

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
1 cup tahini I recommend Soom Foods tahini, but any liquid-y tahini will work!
½ cup maple syrup
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
1 heaping cup of chocolate chips
1 scoop collagen peptides optional
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 the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP, THIS IS THE MAGIC!
While the dough is chilling, preheat oven to 350 F.
Remove bowl from the refrigerator, and add the egg and baking soda, and mix together until fully incorporated.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop dough and form 16 cookies.
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.
Enjoy!
