Chocolate Chunk Almond Butter Cookies
The most perfect Almond Butter Cookies with delicious chocolate chunks come out chewy, gooey, and so yummy.
Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup creamy almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 2.5 cups quick-cooking oats gluten-free if desired*
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chunks
- flakey sea salt for topping
Instructions
- 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.
