Directions
Step #1 Position racks in the upper & lower thirds of the oven & preheat to 350° F (I baked at 325F convection); line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step #2 Whisk oats, cinnamon, whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda & salt in a medium bowl.
Step #3 Beat tahini & butter with an electric mixer In a large-ish bowl until mixed into a paste.
Step #4 Add granulated sugar & brown sugar; continue beating until well mixd (the mixture will still be a little grainy).
Step #5 Beat in egg, then egg white, then vanilla.
Step #6 Stir in the oat mixture with a wooden spoon until just moistened; stir in the chocolate chips & walnuts.
Step #7 With damp hands, but don't let the sides crack; continue with the remaining batter, roll 1 tbsp of the batter into a ball, place it on the baking sheet & flatten it slightly, spacing the flattened balls 2 inches apart.
Step #8 Bake the cookies until golden brown, about 16 mins, switching the pans back to front & top to bottom halfway through.
Step #9 (Note: I baked mine only about 13 mins & felt that was too long--you will want to adjust your baking time according to how crispy you like your cookies.
Step #10 ).
Step #11 Cool on the pans for 2 mins, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
