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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine almond butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the almond butter mixture. Continue mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Stir in the baking soda and salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 5

If desired, fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts at this stage for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Gently flatten each ball of dough slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Enjoy your homemade almond butter cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
