Almond Butter Double Chocolate Cookies

Sometimes you just feel like you need a win, you know? These cookies- these are a win. They feel like a warm chocolatey hug. So I personally will take multiple please.

Gluten-free, dairy-free, easy to make vegan/ egg-free. I love these cookies! To me, they taste as if a brownie turned itself into a cookie. The best thing about these is you probably have most of these ingredients lying around!

Almond Butter Double Chocolate Cookies
Author: Consciously Coastal
prep time: 10 minutes | cook time: 8 minutes | Servings: 10

Ingredients:

• 1 egg (you can sub for 1 flax meal egg!)
• ½ cup raw almond butter
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tbs maple syrup or honey
• 3 tbs coconut oil, melted but not hot
• 1/3 cup cacao powder
• 2 tbs almond flour
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• 1 dark chocolate bar, chopped, I used Eating Evolved extra dark but you can also use ⅓ cup chocolate chips
• Pinch of Himalayan salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. If your almond butter has separated- make sure to give it a stir. You want it to pour!
3. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, smooth almond butter, vanilla, maple syrup, and coconut oil until well-combined.
4. Next add in almond flour, cacao powder, salt, and baking soda.
5. If using a chocolate bar, after you chop it, fold into the dough.
6. You can use a spoon to scoop the dough, roll into a ball, and place the balls on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake the cookies for 8 minutes (they can burn easily so keep an eye on them!) and allow them to cool for about 5, or be like me and eat them right away
