These Tahini Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies are a new take on one of my favorite cookies ever.
I’ve had a bit of a love affair with tahini over the last year(two visits to Israel will do that to you) and thought these cookies would be the perfect way to use it.
I also thought they would be the perfect recipe for showcasing some of my favorite kitchen items – these spoons and scoops from Polder’s Old World Market. I’ve been an admirer of Polder’s for so many years and having a bit of their handiwork as a part of my daily life adds so much beauty to the routine and mundane.
Polder’s Old World Market is a family-run business that specializes in hand-carved spoons. And when I say family, I mean siblings that have mastered the craft of turning pieces of wood into functional works of art.
They’ve turned an old trade into a lifestyle and I’m just in awe of everything they do, from the beauty they capture and share, to the beauty they create.
They’ve given me a code to share with all of you, so if you’re looking for a meaningful gift to give this holiday season, I’ve got you covered:

Now, these cookies.
These cookies are my go to. They’re gluten and grain free, dairy free, and refined sugar free. Egg free also, thanks to a bit of gelatin that binds them and gives them the nicest chew.
Pop them in an airtight container right after they cool. They’ll be soft and chewy and everything a good little cookie should be.
If you have it, a sprinkling of sea salt would not go amiss over the top of these just before baking!
