Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Submitted by Lani M.

1 C unsalted almond butter
3/4 C Sucanat
1 large egg
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. sea salt
3 oz. dark chocolate (70% cocoa or greater) broken into small pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In medium bowl, stir together first 5 ingredients until blended. Stir in chocolate. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool for 15 more minutes.

Recipe should make 24 cookies so they say; I am lucky to get 24 and that is using a level tablespoon!

I have also substituted cashew butter for almond butter and substituted 1T ground flaxseed + 3T water for the egg and they turned out great….couldn’t tell the difference.
