- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C and line 2 large baking trays.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and sea salt in a bowl. Add the spread and use your fingertips to rub into the flour mix until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the sugars and chocolate. Mix in the syrup, tahini and 2 tsp water to form a smooth dough.
- Shape the mix into 12 balls and arrange on the baking trays, leaving space for them to expand. Flatten them slightly with the heel of your hand.
- Bake for 13-15 mins until golden. They'll be quite soft still, but will firm up as they cool. Leave on the tray for 5 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Tip: No tahini? Swap for the same amount of peanut butter.
