Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 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 to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter and honey. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended and create a smooth, consistent texture.
- Crack the large egg into the almond butter and honey mixture. Whisk vigorously until the egg is fully incorporated and the mixture becomes slightly lighter in color.
- Sprinkle the baking soda over the mixture and stir until it is completely integrated, ensuring no dry spots remain.
- Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden and the centers appear set.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will be soft when first removed from the oven but will firm up as they cool.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for the smoothest batter and most consistent cookie texture.
- For extra richness, try using dark chocolate chips or a mix of chocolate chip varieties.
- Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Let cookies cool completely on the wire rack to achieve the perfect chewy texture.
- For a protein boost, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the mixture.
- If the batter seems too runny, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before scooping onto the baking sheet.
- Store cookies in a single layer to maintain their crisp edges and soft center.
