Move over peanut butter, and say hello to these delicious tahini chocolate chip cookies.
They will have you saying (with a full mouth), peanut butter, who?
Made from ground, hulled white sesame seeds to form a smooth paste and create a distinct nutty, savory flavor profile. Believe me when I say there is more to tahini than hummus.

Did I mention they are completely vegan and made in one bowl?
