Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Crack the egg into the mixture and beat until fully combined, ensuring a uniform texture throughout the batter.
- Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie dough ball with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern for a classic cookie appearance.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to crisp up and develop their final texture.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your egg and almond butter are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix ingredients just until combined to keep the cookies tender and prevent tough cookies.
- Consistent Size: Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly.
- Watch Baking Time: Every oven is different, so start checking at 10 minutes. The edges should be golden but centers slightly soft.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Storage Hack: Place a piece of bread in your cookie container to help maintain moisture and freshness.
- Customize: Feel free to swap chocolate chips with nuts or use different nut butters for variety!
