CHOCOLATE CHIP AND ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES

CHOCOLATE CHIP AND ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES

yields 24 COOKIES

ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup chilled almond butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 2 TBL ground flaxseed
  • ¾ cup almond milk
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 to 2⁄3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1 In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2 In the large bowl of a stand mixer or just a big-ass bowl, mix together the almond butter

and sugars until it looks kinda creamy and fluffy. Slowly add in the ground flaxseed, almond

milk, and vanilla until a loose batter forms in there.

3 When all of that is mixed up, add the sifted flour stuff slowly into the bowl. Mix that up

until there are no more dry spots. Fold in the chocolate chips, cover, and put that tasty-ass

batter in the fridge for at least 1 hour and for up to 2 days.

4 When you are ready for some cookies, heat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with

parchment paper.

5 Scoop out a spoonful of dough onto the sheet and kind of flatten it out a bit until you get

about a 2-inch-wide cookie. Keep going until you run out of dough and then bake

until the bottoms are nice and golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Take them off the sheet and let them

cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Modifications

It really helps the dough come together if this is cold, so just stick it in the fridge. You could use peanut butter if that’s all you got, but that is a totally different kind of cookie—just know that .

Depends on how much chocolate you like in your cookies. That’s your call.
