tahini, chocolate chunk and macadamia nut blondies on cut on plate

One of my most recent obsessions is tahini; I cannot stop using this stuff! It’s slightly nutty and full-bodied flavour is amazing in sauces and dips (like traditional hummus) but is also versatile enough to complement baked goods as well. I decided to sub it in for some butter in my cookie recipe, and oh my goodness, the extra layer of flavour was unreal!

tahini chocolate chunk & macadamia nut blondies

One of my most recent obsessions is tahini! Like any good nut or seed butter, I figured it would elevate the typical cookie by bringing in nuttiness, flavour and richness — and it certainly did the trick with these blondies!
