What is tahini"

Tahini, or tahina, is a Middle Eastern condiment made from ground hulled toasted sesame seeds. People describe it as tasting earthy, slightly bitter, and nutty.
It is often used to make salad dressings, dips, or recipes such as hummus, halva, and baba ghanoush. But tahini is also wonderful in cookies!

Sesame has a strong flavor that people usually either love or hate. If you fall into the latter category, do not make these cookies, because the bold sesame flavor absolutely does come through. These are chocolate chip cookies for sesame lovers.

One tablespoon of this healthy sesame spread contains 90 calories and 3 grams of protein, as well as antioxidants and vitamins like calcium, iron, fiber, selenium, manganese, copper, zinc, phosphorus, thiamine, and vitamin B6.
