# Tahini & Dark Chocolate Cookies

**By Merve Tığlı** · 2026-07-12

A cookie inspired by my mother's kitchen, given the nFit treatment — mostly refined sugar-free, tahini-rich, lightly crisp outside and soft inside. Perfect beside a weekend coffee.

**Makes about 20 cookies**

### Ingredients

-   1 çay bardağı (about 100 ml) tahini
-   1 egg
-   125 ml maple syrup
-   1 dessert spoon baking powder
-   70 g dark chocolate chips
-   200 g flour (a mix of buckwheat, almond, chickpea and amaranth flour was used — any flour you like works)
-   A handful of walnuts or almonds (optional)

### Method

1.  Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
2.  Whisk the egg, tahini and maple syrup together.
3.  Add the dry ingredients and mix.
4.  Fold in the chocolate and walnuts; bring together into a dough.
5.  Break off pieces, shape, and bake for 10–12 minutes.

Tip: for a crispier cookie, swap the walnuts for 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Tahini brings plant protein and calcium, maple syrup has a gentler glycaemic effect than refined sugar, and the wholegrain flour mix adds fibre for staying power.
