Delicious brownie-like flourless chocolate almond butter cookies made with a handful of simple, healthy ingredients. They only take 15 minutes to whip up!
Ingredients
- 1 c creamy natural almond butter (use the runny kind with only almonds as an ingredient)
- 1 tsp melted coconut oil
- 1/2 c coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs slightly beaten
- 1/3 c unsweetened cocoa powder (pick a good-quality cocoa powder)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 c dark chocolate chips (dairy free or vegan if desired)
- 1 Fancy sea salt for sprinkling on top
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine almond butter, coconut oil, sugar, vanilla, egg, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; mix until smooth and well combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Roll dough into large balls (about 2 tablespoons) and place on baking sheet. Slightly flatten each dough ball with the palm of your hand. Bake for 7-8 minutes or until edges are set. Do not overbake!
Once done baking, remove baking sheet from oven and allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Sprinkle each cookie with a little sea salt. Makes 12 cookies.
