JUMP TO RECIPE

I promised my son that we could make chocolate chip cookies, life got the best of us and after dinner, he asked, “Hey, can we make cookies still?” Honestly, I was tired from the day and it was the last thing I wanted to do. But I couldn’t let my little man, down so I went to the pantry to grab some ingredients.

Good thing is that these Tahini Tigernut Chocolate Chip Cookies are so easy to make

I wanted to make a cookie that was quick, no time to soften butter, pull out the mixer and do all that stuff tonight. Just a fun 30-minute activity, bath, and bedtime. I run a tight ship okay, we can’t be baking all night!

Healthy doesn’t mean it’s tasteless or boring, these bad boys are amazing!

Birthday parties to holiday cookie exchange no one will know that these are a so-called “healthy” cookie.

I always like to surprise people with “healthy” food, usually, people can’t believe that something that tastes so good can be considered “healthy”.

Granted sugar is sugar, but you need to have some treats every once in a while. So lay off the store-bought tollhouse processed cookie dough and give these a try. They do the trick!

• Ground flax seeds – you can always place whole flax seeds in a Vitamix to grind them real quick if you don’t have ground on hand.
• Tahini
• Tigernut flour
• Maple sugar or coconut sugar – Sweetening our cookies with an all-natural sweetener instead of regular, refined sugar.
• Vanilla extract – great organic and gluten-free vanilla extract
• Baking powder – I buy a lot of non-perishables at Thrive market, the same products at the grocery store at a discounted price!
• Salt
• Chocolate chips – you can use whatever chocolate chips you like but I’m obsessed with Hu chocolate gems, they are amazing. I have a problem snacking on them too much!
• Flaky finishing salt – to get that beautiful salty texture

What is tigernut flour?

Well, it isn’t a nut-like its name leads you to believe. Tigernuts are actually a small root vegetable that originated in Africa. Tigernut flour is a starchy powder that is great to incorporate into savory recipes and sweet baked goods.

Taste like a nut, but it’s not!

Completely safe for people with nut allergies and a great baking alternative for people that are gluten-free or following a paleo diet. Not only does tigernut flour promote prebiotic growth it also supports a healthy immune and digestive tract. It’s a super flour!

How to make a flax egg?

I eat eggs, but I completely ran out of eggs and I looked for other alternatives. Flax eggs are easy to make, ground flax seeds, a little water, and let it sit for a few minutes, that’s it! By using a flax egg it makes this recipe vegan-friendly chocolate chip cookies.

Can I freeze this chocolate chip cookie dough?

Absolutely! Make once and bake twice. I’m all about time-saving tips and cookie dough is great to have on hand for freshly baked cookies. Double or triple the recipe and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

How to freeze chocolate chip cookie dough?

1. Roll the dough into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Chill dough in the freezer and once they are frozen transfer to a reusable freezer-safe bag. I’m a big fan of Stasher reusable bags, I use these for everything.
3. Want to bake some cookies? Just pull the dough of the freezer and bake as directed just add a few additional minutes in the oven.
