01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

06 - Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

01 -

The hot honey creates this incredible sweet heat that keeps you reaching for just one more
Tahini makes these cookies impossibly chewy and gives them a sophisticated twist
They come together in under 30 minutes but taste like something from a fancy bakery

02 -

Overmixing the dough makes these cookies tough instead of tender
Taking them out when the centers still look slightly underbaked gives you that perfect chewy texture
The hot honey flavor develops more after the cookies have cooled completely

03 -

Scoop your tahini from the bottom of the jar where it is thickest and most flavorful
Room temperature ingredients mix more evenly and create better texture
For extra spicy cookies, add a pinch of cayenne directly into the dough
