Egg Free Tahini Cookies – Did someone say chocolate?
Egg free tahini cookies! Yes, it’s possible. These Egg Free Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies are super easy to make. No crazy ingredients and they’re dairy free and nut free too! Modeled after a recipe that i’ve seen, this recipe turns out EPIC. They have a slightly nutty flavor to them and almost remind me of oatmeal cookies, but with chocolate chips, not raisins, because that is blasphemous.
I love cookies. They’re my go-to treat. When I can make a recipe that tastes amazing and feels amazing to eat, I call that a win-win. So this cookie is allergen friendly! But the real question here, and really, the big question with any keto recipe… WHAT DID I USE TO SWEETEN THEM?
THE SCOOP ON ZERO SYRUP
A mix of vegetable glycerin and monk fruit. No carbs, no fat, no protein but not non-caloric, which I like. 59 calories per tbsp. This recips uses 2 tbsp.
The actual product page doesn’t give any details about the actual vegetable glycerin used. Vegetable glycerin is sugar alcohol made from vegetable-based fats, usually soy, coconut or palm oil. Super stoked that corn wasn’t an option, but not thrilled that soy could be an option.
While the actual Zero Syrup page had no info on the glycerin used, the same company makes and sells vegetable glycerin, which is obviously what they use to make this product. So I found this GMO statement, which doesn’t say GMO-free, but says that as far as they know, no GMO products are used. Then I found this Allergen statement which says that no soy is present.
