These cookies are heavily inspired by some cookies I tasted a while back that were baked by the wonderful Lisa Thompson (@lmsthompson)
And since I dont bake often, I needed help finding a good chocolate chip cookie base for this recipe. After hours of research, I found my favorite one that was created by the legend herself, Claire Saffitz (@csaffitz)
Gently brown all of your butter and infuse it with cardamom. Once browned and infused, transfer to a large mixing bowl and whisk in heavy cream. Let it cool lightly into a paste. Once cooled, whisk in white & brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, nutmeg, orange zest & tahini. Mix.
In a separate large bowl mix together your dry ingredients; flour, salt & baking soda.
Incorporate dry & wet ingredients but don’t over mix.
Fold in your chocolate.
In a large tray, portion out cookies on parchment. Let it rest in the fridge overnight or place in the freezer for at least 4 hours.
When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F and bake for 20-25 minutes. Immediately after they’re out of the oven hit them with some flakey salt and then let them rest for at least 15 minutes. Be prepared to have your eyes roll to the back of your head because these are so good.
