Servings: 15 cookies

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup (120g) tahini (well-stirred) (get a brand that’s not bitter)
• 3/4 cup (150g) dark brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg + 1 yolk (for extra richness)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 4 oz (115g) dark chocolate, chopped
• 1/3 cup (50g) chopped toasted pecans
• Flaky sea salt, for finishing

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it turns golden and smells nutty. Remove from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter, tahini, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and whisk again until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then stir in the chopped dark chocolate, toasted sesame seeds, and toasted almonds.

5. Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet. Chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to help keep them thick and chewy.

6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the dough balls 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.

7. While warm, sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let the cookies rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
