These cookies are everything a chocolate lover dreams of—crispy on the edges, soft in the centre, and packed with deep, rich cocoa flavour. We’ve teamed up with Panaceas Pantry to bring you this decadent yet nourishing treat, made with simple, wholesome ingredients. And if that wasn't enough chocolate, what better way to serve than with a dunking of ceremonial cacao; using our newest Chuncho Drinking Cacao. 

Ingredients (Makes 12-14 cookies)

• 210g (¾ cup) hulled tahini

• 165g (1 cup) coconut sugar

• 1 medium egg, at room temperature

• 180g (1 cup) Loco Love Dark Chocolate Drops, divided

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 33g (1/3 cup) Loco Love Higher Being

• ½ tsp fine salt

• 1 tsp baking soda (bicarb soda)

Method

1. Prep the chocolate: Melt 90g (½ cup) of Dark Chocolate Drops in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.

2. Mix the base: In a large bowl, beat tahini and coconut sugar with electric beaters for 2 minutes (or 90 seconds in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment).

3. Incorporate the egg: Add the egg and beat for another 90 seconds until the mixture resembles thick caramel.

4. Combine: Fold in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract until uniform.

5. Add dry ingredients: Sift in Higher Being and baking soda, then add salt. Fold until fully combined. Stir in the remaining chocolate drops.

6. Chill the dough: Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180°C and line two baking trays.

7. Bake: Roll 45g portions of dough into balls and space them out on a tray. Bake for 10-12 minutes in the lower third of the oven. Once baked, tap the tray firmly on a heatproof surface to encourage slight spreading.

8. Cool & enjoy: Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Optional Marshmallow Topping

Cut homemade marshmallows into ½ cm thick discs. After baking for 10 minutes, top each cookie with a marshmallow and bake for another 30-60 seconds.
