Equipment
- measuring cups and spoons
- mixing bowls
- whisk
- Large Spoon or Spatula
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt (use fine sea salt or table salt)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature (1 stick)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup almond butter (or substitute peanut butter)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1½ cups rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together with a hand mixer or a wooden spoon.
- Add the almond butter, eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and beat until it's well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until there is no visible dry flour.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and rolled oats.
- Roll the cookie dough into 12 dough balls. Place them on the baking sheet spread out at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden around the edges. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow them to cool for a few minutes before enjoying!
Notes
- Stiff Almond Butter: If your almond butter is stiff, place it in a microwave safe bowl and microwave it for 10 to 15 seconds. Give it a stir and it should warm and soften to a more liquid texture.
- Seed Butter: To make your cookies nut-free, substitute the almond butter with a seed butter like sunflower butter.
- Chopped Nuts: You can add one cup of chopped nuts to these cookies like almonds, walnuts, or pecans. It’ll had more nutty flavor and crunchy texture.
- Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
