How to cook Vegan and Paleo Salted Tahini Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350*F
- Mix together the coconut oil, tahini, and coconut sugar until smooth. Add the flax egg and vanilla and stir well until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients (almond flour, salt, and baking soda) together in a small bowl, then stir them into the wet ingredients. Mix well, then stir in the chocolate chips. Set the dough in the fridge for at least an hour - doing this helps the dough stick together and helps the finished texture.
- Add the dough in dollups to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt on top if you like, then bake for about 10 or until just beginning to turn golden brown around the edges.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
