Equipment

  • 1 baking tray
  • beaters/ stand mixer
  • 1 piping bag

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups Plain Flour
  • 1 cup Castor Sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ cup tahini
  • 120 g butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla paste
  • 200 g Chocolate chips
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon bicarb soda
  • pinch salt flakes/ rock salt not table salt

Instructions
 

  • Beat together the butter, sugar and tahini until light and fluffy (about 3-5 min). I use my KitchenAid with the paddle attachment but you can also use hand beaters or the Thermomix.
  • Add the egg/egg yolk and vanilla paste and keep beating for about 3 more minutes.
  • Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and then add to the mixer. Mix until just combined (don't over mix).
  • Add the chocolate chips and fold in. The mixture should be quite wet, rather than dry.
  • Put the mixture in the fridge for 12 hours/ overnight.
  • Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius and line a baking tray.
  • Roll a tablespoon of mixture (not too big though as these spread) per cookie. Leave a decent amount of space between each cookie though.
  • Place a chocolate melt on top of each ball and push it down slightly. then put the cookies in the oven for 12-15 minutes for soft cookies. If you want crunchy ones give them another 2 or 3 minutes.
  • Once the cookies are done, melt a handful of the chocolate melts and put in the piping bag. Snip a very small part of the tip on and pipe 4 legs on each side of the chocolate melt on the top of the cookie to create legs. then pipe two dots on the chocolate melt and add the eyes.
  • Sprinkle salt flakes over the top and serve
