½ cup brown sugar

1 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

1 egg

½ cup honey

1.5 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

2 cups flour

1.5 cups of dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

1. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, whip butter for 2-3 minutes until it is nice and fluffy. Then add tahini, brown sugar, and white sugar. Continue to whip for an additional 2 minutes.
