Ingredients
Units
- 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 egg (or flax egg if vegan!)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup almond meal
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the almond butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until completely homogenous, about 1 minute. Add the almond meal, baking soda, and salt and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Place the cookie dough in the fridge for at least an hour, but up to 24 hours.
- When you’re ready to make the cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop, scoop out rounds, dropping them two inches apart (the cookies will spread). Bake for 10 to 12 minutes depending on your oven, taking them out when the edges are golden brown and the centers have puffed up.
- Allow to cool and enjoy with a glass of milk!
