Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

This is one of the BEST chocolate chip cookies I have ever had. The tahini gives this cookie an incredible chewy texture and deepens the chocolate flavor. Overall, this tahini chocolate chip cookie is a richer, bakery-style chocolate chip cookie with a deepened chocolate, nutty flavor, and incredible texture.
