Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat and line

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix the dough

    In a bowl, stir together almond butter, egg, maple syrup, vanilla, baking soda, and salt until a smooth dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.

  3. 3

    Scoop and flatten

    Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a fork.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set and the tops look just barely done — they will firm up as they cool.

  5. 5

    Cool on the pan

    Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring. They are fragile when hot.
