    Tahini Chocolate Chunk Cookies (Vegan and Gluten Free)

    Tahini Chocolate Chunk Cookies (Vegan and Gluten Free). Scrumptious Sugar Free Cookies. Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside! #vegan #chocolate #chunk #cookies

    Holy moly. I hit the cookie jackpot!

    Me and cookies haven’t always had the best relationship. Either they turn out really gummy from flaxseed or they crumble and fall apart. But not these little gems! We have a great new relationship now because of these Tahini Chocolate Chunk Cookies that are vegan and gluten free, and seriously scrumptious. I also feel more at peace having a cookie recipe I can rely on, especially for parties and such, LOL!

    They’re crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, which is something I’ve never been able to accomplish until this recipe! Eek! They are a dream come true. Maybe it’s the tahini?! Also we aren’t using any oil, just tahini.

    For sweetener, I used the Choc Zero Sugar-Free maple syrup, but you could use regular maple syrup or honey, if you eat it. I also used these sugar-free dark chocolate squares (they’re sweetened with monkfruit) and broke them up into pieces. Feel free to use your favorite chocolate bar for the chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips of course)! I also like Lily’s or Hu Kitchen chocolate bars. The rest of the ingredients are super simple like almond flour, flaxseed and hemp seeds.

    I consider these “superfood cookies”, and sometimes have them with my morning coffee or with almond milk for an afternoon treat. OH MY HEAVENS, they’re just too perfect. Go make them ASAP!

    Description

    Scrumptious and sugar-free chocolate chunk cookies that are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside! A real dream come true in vegan, gluten free cookie form.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons water (a flax egg)

    1 cup almond flour

    1/4 cup hemp seeds (optional)

    1 teaspoon baking soda

    1 teaspoon cinnamon

    pinch of sea salt

    3/4 cup tahini

    1/4 cup maple syrup (I use sugar-free Choc Zero maple syrup; can also use honey)

    30–40 drops of stevia (I use this one)

    chocolate bar, broken into pieces (I used 2 of the Choc Zero dark chocolate squares; can also use 1/2 chocolate chips)


    Instructions

    In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed and water, and stir. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a large bowl, whisk the almond flour, hemp seeds, baking soda, cinnamon and sea salt together until well combined. 

    Stir in the flax egg mixture, tahini, maple syrup and stevia. 

    Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, to set.

    Using a cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto baking sheet and gently press down to flatten, You should get 10 cookies. Next, press the chocolate chunks into the cookies.

    Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the sides are slightly golden.

    Remove from oven and let cool. Enjoy!

      as far as healthy cookies go, these rock !!! i loved them. super satisfying. i added enjoy life mini chips instead of chunks and pressed them into the tops of the cookies, but wished i had put them in the batter to get more chips bc they really elevated the flavor of the entire cookie.

    WHY I’M SO GLAD I SAID YES 🦄 • I get to so WHY I’M SO GLAD I SAID YES 🦄

• I get to solve hair problems for people help them have more confidence
• I get to make an income from wifi
• I’m apart of an inclusive community of driven women that have turned into real friends whom I hope to meet one day!

Before I started my business, I wasn’t sure what direction my life was headed. I was lost for an entire year prior, completely engulfed in motherhood which was fine because I wanted motherhood to take over. I wanted to lose myself in my baby and felt lucky to be able to do that. But then at one point, I wanted to get back to “me” too. I wanted to feel like myself again. I wanted MORE. 

If you’re looking for more income, more community, more flexibility, more confidence, more friendships, more guidance, more support, more financial freedom, more passion in your life… this business can be the vehicle. 

I joined the BEST community of women who have encouraged me every step of the way and led me down the right path. It’s not intimidating at all because everyone wants you to succeed. 

Type BIZ and I will contact you with more information, or fill out my opportunity form 🌸💛⚡️🦄🩷🙏🏼💅🏻👑🛍️

    FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 These 3 tips have really FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 

These 3 tips have really helped me combat the annoying oil to the point where now, I only have to wash twice a week. I’m sure you guys already know that washing LESS helps the scalp to stop overproducing so much oil. So washing less is the goal ⚡️ and I can help you get to this point because I know it’s scary/hard to do. But we also have to remember that oil after a couple days is completely normal, so there is a balance here.

Obviously these tips along with the right shampoo and conditioner for YOU is KEY. If you’d like a free custom consult you can DM me HAIR or take my Hair Quiz linked in my bio 🩷🙂🦄⚡️💅🏻👑🔥💛

    Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & ha Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & hair products lately? Your dry shampoo? 

The USA bans only 50 ingredients from cosmetics, 500 in Canada and 1300 in Europe! 😱😱 Did you know my products go be European standards? 

With the chemicals and environmental pollutants etc that we are exposed to daily that we can’t control, we can choose wisely the products we use and slather on our bodies/heads. Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it, your skin is your largest organ.

I’m sure you heard about the recall of millions of dry shampoos for containing BENZENE which is a cancer-causing ingredient that you are inhaling and spraying on your scalp multiple times per week. Many of them are STILL on the shelves! 😡 I have a better option for you that does not contain talc (an oil absorber also connected to cancer), propane or butane either, which are all connected to allergies and eye, lung and skin irritations.

Let’s do better for our hormones, skin, hair, health, kids health and environmental health. Let’s get you started on better products that you can trust.

I’ve always curled my hair the same way until recently! Loving this look from our new spiral wand. This is apart of our curling wand that comes with 3 attachments 👀 there are some pieces of my hair that look crimpy so I need practice but it took the same amount of time as my normal curling wand.

PRODUCTS USED:
• anti-frizz blow out spray 
• the best ever dry shampoo
• texture spray for grit and hold
• flex control hairspray
• optional glossy shine mist
