Happy last weekend before the official start of Autumn! . At least that’s what my daily planner is telling me. 😉 You know, when I was a little kid (and let’s be honest, an adult), I thought that autumn started in August. Did you? (Someone help me out here!)
It’s just… by the time the end of July rolls around, and all the Fourth of July clearance stuff is gone from the stores, there are fall things everywhere.
Bright orange and yellow leaf displays, boxes and boxes of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, fresh-baked loaves of pumpkin bread stacked into the shape of a ginormous grinning Jack-o-lantern, big ol’ bins of plastic pumpkins and huge bags of cinnamon-scented pinecones that make it all feel like fall is here, folks!
So in anticipation of all the fall festivities, family events and food-centric activities that call for all the yummy healthy desserts, I thought I’d share one of my newest favorites to the paleo + vegan cookie jar…

Description
Chewy Gluten Free Chocolate Tahini Cookies (Vegan, GF): this flourless chocolate chip cookie recipe is Paleo! The best double chocolate chip cookies—chewy & decadent. Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Healthy, Refined Sugar-Free.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted tahini
- ½ cup natural, unsalted creamy almond butter
- 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons warm water, whisked together, set for 15 minutes)
- ¼ cup + 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
Add-ins
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
Topping
- 2–3 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add all ingredients except chocolate chips. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until thoroughly mixed.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough onto baking sheet, evenly spaced apart. Do not roll cookie dough in the palm of your hands—this will cause the dough to warm up and release too much oil, resulting in spread out cookies with unseemly crispy edges. If cracks form, press back together with your fingers. Press chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie.
- Using the palm of your hands, just lightly press down to flatten cookies—they will spread and flatten during baking. Keep cookie dough balls mostly round and high, with just a bit of a flat top. Again, press together any cracks that form.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes. Mine took 12 minutes. Place cookie sheet on a cooling rack, and allow cookies to cool directly on the sheet for 10-15 minutes—do not remove from sheet for at least 10 minutes, as cookies are fragile. Then, using a spatula, gently transfer cookies directly onto the cooling rack to cool for about 30 minutes, or until completely cooled. Enjoy! Storing notes below.

Can I sub 1 whole egg for the flax egg?
I haven’t tried it myself, but it should be okay. Happy baking!
Thanks so much for another keeper recipe! I doubted this straight away as I knew that I wouldn’t regret it! You had me at “double chocolate.” I have fallen in love with tahini and I had never used it before your recipes.
