or DOZEN COOKIES
- 111 g good quality tahini ½ cup
- 150 g brown sugar ¾ cup
- 55 g white granulated sugar ¼ cup
- 125 g unsweetened applesauce ½ cup
- 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp coffee powder
- 40 g unsweetened cocoa powder ⅓ cup + 1 tsp
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ⅓ tsp salt
- 120 g white all purpose flour 1 cup
- ¾ cup vegan dark chocolate chips or chunks
- flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top the baked cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175° C or 350° F and prepare one or two baking sheets depending on how many cookies you are baking, one batch of single serving or the dozen.
- Mix the vanilla with the coffee powder in a mixing bowl until the coffee has dissolved. Then add the tahini, sugars and applesauce to the same mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
- Two options: Lay a strainer over the mixing bowl and add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Shake the strainer with dry ingredients over the wet mixture to smoothly combine the ingredients with no lumps. OR you can mix the dry ingredients together in a separate mixing bowl to get rid of clumps. Then add the dry to the wet ingredients. Mix until close to combined, then fold in the chocolate chunks as well (save some of the chunks to place on top of the cookies). Do not over-mix.
- Make either 12 or 2 cookies depending which you chose. Place a few of the leftover chocolate chunks on top of each cookie. This way they look more fancy since the chocolate will look all melty and delicious and decorative on each cookie!
- Bake the cookies one sheet at a time if you are baking a dozen. Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes depending on your oven. The edges should be set but the middle will look a bit undone, and this is correct. This is how the cookies end up being chewy, fudgy and delicious!
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of the cookies when they are done baking. Let them sit for about 10 minutes before you eat them.
- Keep any leftovers in the fridge or freeze them. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
