Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Almond butter (smooth, unsweetened)
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Optional: Chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine almond butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the almond butter mixture. Continue mixing until fully incorporated.
Stir in the baking soda and salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
If desired, fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts at this stage for added texture and flavor.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out equal-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently flatten each ball of dough slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The cookies may appear underbaked in the center but will continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies rest for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade almond butter cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
