Delicious Brown-Butter Tahini Cookies

These cookies are made with brown butter, which adds a nutty richness, and tahini, giving them a unique flavor profile. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and makes approximately 12 cookies.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), browned
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, tahini, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 15 minutes to help the cookies maintain their shape.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
