- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg For vegan option, substitute with a flax egg.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda Ensure gluten-free if necessary.

Optional Ingredients

- 1/2 cup chopped nuts Optional, consider different nuts or omit.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine almond butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk together baking soda and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.
- If using, fold in chocolate chips and chopped nuts gently.
Baking
- Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork for an even baking surface.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading. Keep a close eye on cookies towards the end of the baking time to avoid overbaking.
