Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup tahini (smooth or crunchy, your choice)

1/3 cup maple syrup or honey (for a sweeter touch)

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (make sure it's not too hot)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for added depth of flavor)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda (to give the cookies a little lift)

1/4 teaspoon salt (enhances the sweetness)

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (or substitute with raisins for a healthier option)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) - optional but recommended for crunch

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal of the cookies later.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, maple syrup (or honey), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly blended. This will create a creamy base for your cookies.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir these ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.

        Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir continuously until the mixture is uniformly combined. If you’ve decided to use them, gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts at this stage.

          Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into balls approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand for an even bake.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you’re looking for edges that are golden brown. The centers might appear slightly underbaked, but they will firm up nicely as they cool.

              Cool Down: Carefully remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set. After that, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to develop their chewy texture.

                Enjoy: Once the cookies are cool, indulge in your delightful chewy tahini oat cookies! They pair perfectly with a cold glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
