Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup tahini well-stirred before measuring
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon flaky sea salt such as Maldon, for finishing
- 1 3/4 cups bittersweet chocolate chips at least 60% cacao
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the flour, kosher salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream the butter, sugars, and tahini until combined.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and beat to combine, stopping to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to incorporate.
- Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed just until combined and no dry spots remain.
- By hand, stir chocolate chips. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- When ready to bake, line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Scoop the dough in to 2-inch balls (about 1.5 oz. each) and place them about 2 inches apart on each sheet. Bake one sheet at a time for 15-16 minutes, until the cookies are still very soft in the middle and the edges are barely golden (they'll continue to set up and finish baking once out of the oven).
- Immediately sprinkle the flakey salt over the hot cookies. Allow the cookies to rest on the sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
