Servings: 18 cookies
Calories: 166kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Set oven to 350F
- Crack the egg into a medium bowl and beat it lightly. Add in the almond butter, baking soda, and sugar and mix everything together well.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. I use a (1 3/4 inch) scoop, but you can use a tablespoon. Space the cookies well apart, and flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Don't overbake these, the cookies will look underdone, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Let them cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them carefully to a cooling rack.
Notes
- You can use commercial or 'natural' almond butter for these cookies, although the type you use will alter their texture slightly. I found the best texture was with 1/2 Jiff almond butter and 1/2 natural almond butter.
- I owe this cookie epiphany to my good friend and inspirational blogging buddy Mary, her 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies started it all.
