Brown butter-style richness with the deep, roasted nuttiness of Med Cuisine Natural Tahini in these plant-based cookies. Sesame-coated edges turn crisp in the oven while the centres stay soft, chewy and studded with dark chocolate. They offer a perfectly balanced indulgence that’s as sophisticated as it is satisfying.
The Recipe
Ingredients
70g salted vegan block butter
1 tbsp Med Cuisine Natural Tahini
25g caster sugar
45g soft brown sugar
1½ tbsp plant-based milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
70g plain flour
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
Pinch of sea salt
40g 70% dark chocolate, roughly chopped
25g sesame seeds
Method
Mix. Combine the flour, bicarbonate of soda, sea salt, caster sugar and soft brown sugar in a medium bowl.
Brown the butter. Melt the vegan block butter in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Cook until it foams, turns golden and smells nutty, then remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
Whisk. Whisk the browned butter with the plant-based milk, tahini and vanilla until smooth.
Make the dough. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, add the chopped dark chocolate and mix only until no dry flour remains. Cover and rest for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for a deeper flavour and chewier texture.
Shape. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray. Divide the dough into 5 equal balls, roll each one in the sesame seeds and arrange them with space to spread.
Bake. Bake for 13 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centres still look slightly soft. Leave on the tray for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring or serving.
🌿 Med Cuisine Tip: Rest the dough for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) so the flour can hydrate and the cookies spread more evenly. Pull them from the oven while the centres still look slightly underdone - they will finish setting on the hot tray and stay chewy.
Natural Tahini brings roasted sesame depth and a smooth richness that balances the brown sugar and dark chocolate.
