Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Full Fat Cottage Cheese
- 1/2 cup Tahini, Well Stirred
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter, Melted
- 2/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey Casein Blend)
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3/4 cup Dark Chocolate Chunks
- 1/4 cup Sesame Seeds
- 1 tsp Flaky Sea Salt
Equipment
- blender
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth. In a large bowl, whisk the blended cottage cheese, tahini, melted butter, brown sugar, egg yolk and vanilla until thick and glossy.
- Add the flour, protein powder, baking soda and salt, and stir until combined. Fold in the dark chocolate chunks.
- Cover and chill the dough for 1 hour. Tahini doughs are soft at first, and chilling gives you thick cookies with gooey, nutty centers.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon balls and roll the edges in sesame seeds, leaving the tops bare. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly soft. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt right away.
- Cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack.
