Equipment
- 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup almond butter creamy and unsalted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together baking soda and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
Serving
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with your choice of beverage and enjoy.
Storage
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze cookies in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
