Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Banana Nice Cream Recipes

TAHINI CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and position a rack in the middle. Line two large baking sheets with parchment.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the tahini, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix with a wooden spoon for a couple of minutes until well combined (the mixture will be crumbly).
• Add the eggs, 3 tablespoons cold water, and the vanilla extract. Mix for another 2 minutes until well-incorporated (the mixture should be smooth and fudgy).
• Stir in the salt, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Add the flour and mix until combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir until well combined.
• Scoop heaping 1 tablespoons of the dough and arrange them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet pans. Wet the back of a spoon and use it to lightly flatten the tops of the cookie dough portions (you're looking for the dough to be about ½ inch in thickness give or take).
• Bake on the middle rack for about 8 to 11 minutes, depending on how soft or crunchy you like your cookies. If you like your cookies on the softer side, pull them out sometime around the 8 or 9 minutes and let them cool on the sheet pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets.
• Dust with more ground cinnamon before serving (optional).

Steps:

• For the cookie dough: Process the yogurt, tahini and vanilla in a food processor until combined. Add the brown sugar and process until combined, scraping the sides with a rubber spatula as needed.
• Microwave the flour in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Remove and stir well. Microwave for an additional minute or until the temperature reaches 180 degrees F. Sift into a small bowl, then whisk in the salt (see Cook's Note). Add the mixture to the food processor and pulse until just combined, scraping the sides with a rubber spatula as needed, about 6 pulses. Add the chocolate chips and pulse until they are incorporated, about 5 pulses. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Roll the dough into 1/4 teaspoon cookie dough balls (about 60 dough balls), lightly flouring your hands if the dough is too sticky. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the nice cream base: Put the bananas, cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons tahini and salt in a food processor and process until smooth. Taste and add up to 1 tablespoon more tahini and season with more salt if necessary. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the cookie dough balls. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 5 hours, stirring every 1 hour 30 minutes to distribute the cookie dough evenly.

SALTED TAHINI CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, tahini and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla and continue mixing at medium speed for another 5 minutes.
• Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and kosher salt into a large bowl and mix with a fork. Add flour mixture to butter mixture at low speed until just combined. Use a rubber spatula to fold in chocolate chips. Dough will be soft, not stiff. Refrigerate at least 12 hours; this ensures tender cookies.
• When ready to bake, heat oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick baking mat. Use a large ice cream scoop or spoon to form dough into 12 to 18 balls.
• Place the cookies on the baking sheet at least 3 inches apart to allow them to spread. Bake 13 to 16 minutes until just golden brown around the edges but still pale in the middle to make thick, soft cookies. As cookies come out of the oven, sprinkle sparsely with salt. Let cool at least 20 minutes on a rack.
