First, preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

Next, combine melted butter and brown sugar until there are no lumps. Then, add maple syrup, egg, almond butter, and vanilla and mix again.

Add salt, quick-cooking oats, and baking soda and mix until everything is combined. Add in chocolate chunks and mix. 

Refrigerate dough for 20 minutes to set.

Scoop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough into your hands and form it into a ball. Place it onto the cookie sheet and slightly press down to form a cookie shape. The batter will feel a bit wet, but they will be so soft and chewy when done baking!* 

Repeat the process above until you’ve fit 6 cookies on your baking sheet.

Bake cookies at 350ºF for 9-11 minutes or until they begin to turn golden brown.

Remove cookies and let cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
