1. 1Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with the rack in the middle and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
2. 2Step 2: In a medium-size bowl, beat together the butter, tahini, and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat until thoroughly blended and lightly fluffy, about 1 minute.
3. 3Step 3: Add the egg and vanilla and beat just until combined.
4. 4Step 4: Sprinkle in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt evenly over the dough.
5. 5Step 5: Beat or mix with a spoon until just combined.
6. 6Step 6: Stir in the chocolate chips. Save a few to add on top of the cookies for aesthetic purposes.
7. 7Step 7: Press the dough flat in the bowl and roughly divide it in quarters by eye (you can also lightly score it with a knife). Make three dough balls out of each quarter of dough (for a total of 12 cookies).
8. 8Step 8: Roll the dough balls lightly in your hands and then place them on the baking sheet, evenly spaced. I usually do two rounds of 6 cookies. Cool the cookie sheet between batches. Top with more chocolate chips.
9. 9Step 9: Bake for about 11 minutes. The edges will start to brown, but the centers will still appear soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
