Equipment

  • Hand mixer

Ingredients

  • ½ cup neutral oil such as canola sunflower, or vegetable oil; approx. 120 ml
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar approx. 250 g
  • ⅓ cup tahini paste unsalted; stir well before use; approx. 78 ml
  • 4 tbsp oat milk approx. 60 ml
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil approx. 15 ml
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom approx. 1 g
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour approx. 300 g
  • ½ tsp salt approx. 3 g
  • 1 tsp baking soda approx. 5 g
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips vegan; or chunks; approx. 170 g
  • 3 tbsp sesame seeds use toasted for more flavor; optional; approx. 27 g

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two parchment-lined baking sheets.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the neutral oil, sugar, tahini, and oat milk. Using a hand mixer on low speed, beat for about 2 minutes until smooth and well blended.
  • Mix in the toasted sesame oil and ground cardamom.
  • Add the flour, salt, and baking soda to the bowl. Stir until fully combined. The dough will be crumbly but should hold together when pressed.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie, roll into balls, and (if using) roll each ball in sesame seeds.
  • Place dough balls 2–3 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are just starting to turn golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and tap the baking sheet gently on the counter to help the cookies settle.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Cookies will puff in the oven and collapse slightly as they cool.
