Enjoy it!!!
Things that you need:
- 2 cup(s) rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
- 1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup(s) whole-wheat pastry flour (see Tips & Techniques)
- 1 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1/2 cup(s) tahini (see Tips & Techniques)
- 4 tablespoon(s) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 2/3 cup(s) granulated sugar, or 1/3 cup Splenda
- 2/3 cup(s) packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon(s) vanilla extract
- 1 cup(s) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup(s) chopped walnuts
How to prepare it :
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk oats, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat tahini and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until blended into a paste. Add granulated sugar (or Splenda) and brown sugar; continue beating until well combined-the mixture will still be a little grainy. Beat in egg, then egg white, then vanilla. Stir in the oat mixture with a wooden spoon until just moistened. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
- With damp hands, roll 1 tablespoon of the batter into a ball, place it on a prepared baking sheet and flatten it until squat, but don’t let the sides crack. Continue with the remaining batter, spacing the flattened balls 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies until golden brown, about 16 minutes, switching the pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through. Cool on the pans for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the pans cool for a few minutes before baking another batch.
