Ingredients
  

1 cup tahini (smooth, unsweetened)

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pistachios (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the tahini, brown sugar, granulated sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

      Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the tahini mixture, stirring until just combined.

        Incorporate Extras: If desired, fold in the chocolate chips and nuts into the cookie dough. You can adjust the mix-ins according to your taste preferences.

          Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies may appear soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.

              Cool Down: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your tahini cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, or pack them for a delightful snack on-the-go!
