- In a bowl, blend together flours, xanthan gum, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- Place melted butter, tahini, coconut sugar, and maple syrup into a mixing bowl and beat until thoroughly combined. Add egg, yolk, and vanilla and beat until batter is smooth. If dough is too thick, mix in a couple of tablespoons of water until incorporated.
- Stir in chopped chocolate until evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate cookie dough until firm, at least 1-2 hours or overnight.
- After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 375F.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
and scoop dough out by the rounded tablespoons (I also like to use 1/4 cup for larger cookies) placing 2-3 inches apart. Flatten slightly and top each with a pinch of flaked sea salt.
- Place pan onto the middle rack in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, until cookies are golden brown and center is set.
- Let cool slightly on the pan before transferring cookies to a rack to cool completely. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up 2-3 days.
