Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond butter and coconut sugar. Mix until well blended.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the almond butter mixture. Stir until the ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
Stir in the baking soda and sea salt until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips if using.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press down on each cookie dough ball with the back of a fork to slightly flatten and create a crosshatch pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy as a delightful Paleo-friendly treat!
