Chewy, nutty vegan tahini cookies with dark chocolate chunks — chilled before baking for a perfect texture. Makes 12. Ready in 175°C for 18 minutes.

👩‍🍳 Method

1
Mix the coconut oil, tahini, granulated sugar and brown sugar together with a hand mixer until light — about 3 minutes.
2
Add the plant milk and vanilla extract to the tahini mixture and mix to combine.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the plain flour, cornflour, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.
4
Mix the dry ingredients into the tahini mixture, then stir in the chopped dark chocolate.
5
Cover the dough with cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
6
Preheat oven to 175°C. Scoop 1/3 cup portions of dough onto a lined baking tray and roll into balls.
7
Bake for 18 minutes until golden. Leave to cool on the tray — they will firm up as they cool.
