Ingredients
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp (125g) butter
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp (4.5g) baking soda
- 1/4 tsp (1g) salt
- 1/4 cup (60g) Tahini paste
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar

- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp (3g) cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp (2g) cardamom powder
- 4 oz (120g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (60g) toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Prepare the browned butter.
- In a saucepan, over medium heat, completely melt the butter, whisking frequently.
- Continue to cook the butter for about 5-8 minutes, until it will turn golden brown and milk solids will form on the bottom of the pan. It should smell very nutty.
- Immediately remove the pan from the heat, sieve the melted butter, and put it into a heatproof bowl to stop the cooking. Now it is ready to use.
Prepare the tahini chocolate bars.
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Line an 8-inch (20cm) square pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, and toasted sesame seeds. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, mix together the tahini paste, the brown sugar, and the browned butter, for about 5 minutes.
- Add the egg and the egg yolk over the wet mixture and stir until combined.
- Add in the flour mixture, and mix to combine.
- Fold in the chocolate chip.
- Put it into the prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Leave to cool, then cut it into squares using a sharp knife. Enjoy!
