45 cookies
- Serves:
- 45
ingredients
- 473.18 ml rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
- 118.29 ml all-purpose flour
- 118.29 ml whole wheat pastry flour (I wouldn't sub regular whole-wheat flour)
- 4.92 ml ground cinnamon
- 2.46 ml baking soda
- 2.46 ml salt
- 118.29 ml tahini
- 59.16 ml cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 157.80 ml granulated sugar
- 157.80 ml packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 14.79 ml vanilla extract
- 236.59 ml chocolate chips (bittersweet or semisweet)
- 118.29 ml chopped walnuts
directions
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350° F (I baked at 325F convection); line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk oats, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat tahini and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until blended into a paste.
- Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; continue beating until well combined (the mixture will still be a little grainy).
- Beat in egg, then egg white, then vanilla.
- Stir in the oat mixture with a wooden spoon until just moistened; stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
- With damp hands, roll 1 tablespoon of the batter into a ball, place it on the baking sheet and flatten it slightly, but don't let the sides crack; continue with the remaining batter, spacing the flattened balls 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies until golden brown, about 16 minutes, switching the pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through. (Note: I baked mine only about 13 minutes and felt that was too long--you will want to adjust your baking time according to how crispy you like your cookies.).
- Cool on the pans for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
