Tahini Maple Syrup Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten free & vegan)
My boyfriend asked me to make a "normal" chocolate chip cookie and these Tahini Maple Syrup Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten free & vegan) are where I landed. And not to be dramatic - but these are my favorite cookies I have ever made.
I was nervous about only using maple syrup as a sweetener, but the texture and flavor of these cookies is divine. These cookies - per the usual of my baking recipes - are super easy to make as well. You only need one bowl and ~10 ingredients to make them.

- Prep Time: 10
- Cook Time: 10
- Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
Wet
- 1 flax egg ( 1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water)
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup cold drippy tahini (refrigerated)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry
- ⅔ cup + 3 tbsp oat flour
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Make your flax egg by mixing flax and water. Let the "egg" sit refrigerated for 10-30 minutes to set.
- In a large bowl mix together your wet ingredients including the flax egg. Pour in dry ingredients except for the chocolate chips and mix. Lastly fold in the chocolate chips.
- On a lined sheet pan form 8-10 evenly sized cookies - using about 1 ½ tablespoon worth of dough per cookie. I recommend wetting your hands before forming the cookies as the dough is sticky.
- Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. Let cool and top with additional flaky salt if desired.

SOOO good. The consistency and texture of these are absolutely incredible. I used the bob's red mill egg replacer instead of a flax egg, and for me this recipe made about 12 cookies rather than 8-10. I would have baked them a little longer too, I did 11 minutes but felt they could've gone for 13 or 14. Delicious though! I'll definitely be making these again!
