Chocolate Chunk Tahini Cookies made grain & gluten-free, plus they have collagen peptides!Chocolate Chunk Tahini Cookies that are grain-free and vegan-friendly!

These cookies are da BOMB you guys. I was pretty hesitant on making a cookie using tahini but these Chocolate Chunk Tahini Cookies may just be my most favorite cookie recipe as of yet.

They are soft and kind of doughy. They are just lightly sweetened and hit the spot every single time.

At first I thought I was going crazy putting tahini in a dessert but the mild flavor and creamy consistency it adds to the dough is on point. My Mom could not get enough of these cookies either. I froze half of them to stop myself from eating them all, but ended up microwaving a couple every night until they were finished (try harder next time Rach).

You’d also never guess that there are collagen peptides in these gems. Yes, you read that right, COLLAGEN! Baking with Vital Proteins is seriously one of my favorite past times. You add an extra boost of protein right into the recipe and you are gaining all the benefits of collagen peptides. You also do not taste it whatsoever. I put collagen peptides right into my tea or hot water daily, and it is a game changer. It helps your hair, skin and nails. It is also amazing for your digestive system, joint health and so much more.

I use the marine or beef collagen (both are great and get the packets too for travel) and Vital Proteins even just launched some new flavors that I was lucky enough to try at Expo West! Cannot recommend this product enough. I am OBSESSED you guys.

WHAT YOU NEED

Almond flour (have not subbed anything else)

Arrowroot flour/starch (have not subbed anything else)

Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides

Baking powder

Tahini

Liquid Coconut oil

Coconut Sugar

Vanilla Extract

Dark Chocolate Bar (this is so good in it!)

 

QUICK NOTES

  • I have not tested other flours here, the almond and arrowroot balance each other out and I personally think it adds the doughy/chewy cookie consistency we love
  • These cookies do freeze very well but good luck not eating them all first 😉
  • If you do not have liquid coconut oil, simply melt solid coconut oil to a liquid and wait for it to cool
