Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- 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 becomes smooth and well-incorporated.
- Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the almond butter mixture. Mix until the ingredients are completely blended and the mixture is uniform in texture.
- Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, ensuring even distribution.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, stirring carefully to distribute them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie ball slightly with the back of a fork or your fingertips, creating a crisscross pattern if desired.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and smoother dough consistency.
- For extra texture, try using a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips.
- Don't overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender and soft.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Let cookies cool completely to allow them to set and develop their perfect texture.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from drying out.
- If the dough seems too sticky, refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before scooping.
- Experiment with adding chopped nuts for extra crunch and flavor.
- Always check your chocolate chips to ensure they are gluten-free.
