Notes
What is tahini: If you haven’t heard of tahini, it is toasted sesame seeds blended in a manner similar to peanut butter either as is or with a little neutral oil and is used as a spread, in sauces and is also great in baking, particularly for those who are allergic to nuts as these are a great substitute, though it is not as thick as a nut butter.
Sub for caramel chunk chocolate: Plain chocolate chips would sub perfectly in these if you don't have caramel chocolate on hand.
Topping addition: A great addition to these would be a sprinkle of sea salt on the top just before you pop into the oven.
If you don't love soft chewy texture of cookies: If you don't love the overly soft chewy texture of these once they have cooled, you could add an additional two tablespoons of flour and this would firm them up.
Keeping the cookies: These will stay chewy and soft for a couple of days due to the high tahini content within, but are best kept covered in a container when not consuming.
