These super yummy and easy Tahini Choc Chip Cookies have been made over and over at my house. They're Gluten-Free, Vegan (obviously) and utterly addictive to eat! Best of all? They're low in sugar and high in protein and in calcium too! Yay!
I've made these Tahini Cookies with Doisy and Dam Peanut D&D's which are a bit like M&Ms but vegan - and YUMMIER! (P.R. Gift) and I can tell you, they take these cookies to another level. But don't worry, you can also use regular choc chips, or even smash up your favourite chocolate bar and use shards of that. I've tested them all ways and they are good whichever way you choose. (Buy Doisy and Dam here or on Amazon here).
