Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup almond butter
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and prepare for baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, brown sugar, and egg. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully blended and smooth. If using chocolate chips, gently fold them in at the end to distribute evenly.
- Form Cookies: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Arrange the balls on the lined baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Press down each ball gently to flatten it slightly into a cookie shape.
- Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn golden, indicating they are cooked through but still soft inside.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. This helps them set properly before serving or storing.
Notes
- You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar or a granulated sugar alternative if preferred.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or vanilla extract to the dough.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- To make them dairy-free, ensure your chocolate chips are dairy-free or omit them entirely.
