Sesame Chocolate Chip Cookies [Food Processor Attachment]

It may sound a little weird, but trust us — this is a great combination. The sesame seeds complement the chocolate chip cookie very well. We use whole seeds, but you can also substitute with tahini.

Chef's Notes

  • Sesame and chocolate aren't often thought of as going together, but they complement each other very well in this cookie recipe. We prefer maple syrup in this recipe, but date syrup can be used; however, the consistency will be different.
