These crispy-edged, chewy-centered wonders deliver the ultimate cookie texture and have an extraordinary sweet-savory balance thanks to olive oil and tahini. To get the cookies just right, measure the ingredients by weight, use good-quality bittersweet chocolate to offset the sweet dates, and mix the tahini very well before measuring. Oh, and flaky salt before baking is a must.
