What gives these cookies their unique flavor?

These cookies get their distinctive nutty and sweet flavor from the combination of tahini and maple syrup, complemented by a hint of vanilla extract.

How do I ensure the cookie dough isn't too crumbly?

After combining the initial ingredients, if the dough is still crumbly and doesn't stick together, add the additional tablespoon of almond milk as directed in the recipe to achieve the right consistency.

Can I omit the black sesame seeds or chocolate chips?

Yes, both the black sesame seeds and chocolate chips are optional ingredients. You can choose to include one, both, or neither based on your preference without affecting the core cookie structure.

How should I store these Tahini Maple Cookies?

Once cooled, store the Tahini Maple Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days to maintain their freshness and chewiness.

How long should I bake these cookies?

Bake the cookies for exactly 11 minutes in a preheated 350˚F oven. They will be soft when removed but will firm up as they cool for at least 5 minutes.

How to Prepare Tahini Maple Cookies [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 350˚ and oil a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the tahini, maple syrup, oil, 1 tablespoon almond milk, and the vanilla extract. Once the wet ingredients are combined, sift in the dry ingredients (except for the sesame seeds). Using a plastic spatula or wooden spoon, stir to combine all the ingredients.
If the dough is still crumbly (i.e. if it doesn’t stick together in a single ball), add the additional tablespoon of almond milk.
Fold in the sesame seeds (and chocolate chips, if you’re using them). Once the dough is combined, scoop heaping tablespoonfuls onto the baking sheet and flatten slightly.
Bake for 11 minutes, remove from oven, and let cool for at least 5 minutes before eating.
