I woke up craving chocolate chip cookies, no surprise there. So I decided to make sesame oil chocolate chip cookies. When I told Delaney I was going to put toasted sesame oil into a chocolate chip cookie, he looked at me weird. And not in a good way, haha! He was not really on board with the idea, but I made them anyway. But, when I was done making them, he ate one and liked it! If you like sesame, then you will love this recipe for Sesame Chocolate Chip Cookies.

These simple sesame oil chocolate chip cookies use toasted sesame oil along with light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and Kamut flour to give these cookies a really unique flavor!

I use dark chocolate chips in these Sesame Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies, and I add sesame seeds on top for extra flavor. After the cookie dough is rolled into balls, I just sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds. You can also add in extra chocolate chips on top at this time if you want that look of the chocolate chips right on top. Check out my post Tips for Making Picture Perfect Cookies.

These Sesame Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft, chewy, and melt in your mouth. They have a unique flavor that lets you enjoy a classic chocolate chip cookie with a twist!

FAQ's

How do you store these sesame oil chocolate chip cookies?

These are soft and chewy cookies, so they are best stored in an airtight container. You can also freeze them if you are not going to eat them all right away. You can store in the freezer for up to 1 month.

What if I don’t have Kamut flour?

If you don’t have Kamut flour, I highly recommend you get some! This is a specialty flour, but it gives baked goods a really unique and interesting flavor, one that can’t be replicated with another type of flour. If you really don’t want to buy some, you can use all purpose flour in place of it. The all purpose flour will work the same in the recipe, however, the flavor will be altered.

Can I use mini chocolate chips instead of regular chocolate chips?

Yes, if you prefer mini chocolate chips you can use those instead of regular chocolate chips! I love mini chocolate chips and they would also be delicious in this cookie recipe.
