Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the tahini and maple syrup, whisking until smooth and well-incorporated, creating a creamy base for the cookie dough.
- Add the almond flour to the tahini mixture, stirring gradually to prevent lumps and ensure a consistent texture throughout the dough.
- Gently fold in the sea salt and peppermint extract, mixing thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly across the cookie dough.
- Carefully fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are distributed throughout the dough for consistent chocolate flavor in each bite.
- Using a spatula or cookie scoop, portion the dough into small rounds, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
- For best texture, refrigerate the cookie dough for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm slightly.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator, or enjoy at room temperature as a no-bake cookie dough treat.
- Store any remaining cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, make sure your tahini and peppermint extract are fresh. This will enhance the overall taste of your cookie dough.
- Chill for Best Texture: Refrigerating the cookie dough for 15-30 minutes not only helps the flavors meld but also makes it easier to scoop and shape.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to get creative! Try adding chopped nuts, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an extra flavor boost.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cookie dough, you can increase the amount of maple syrup slightly. Just be cautious not to make it too sticky.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftover cookie dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze portions for a quick treat later!
