Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl. (I actually ground up some rolled oats to make my oat flour.)
In a saucepan on med heat, combine the almond butter, coconut oil and maple syrup and stir until smooth.
Let mixture cool.
Once it’s cooled add it to the dry ingredients and also add the vanilla, egg and almond extract.
Once everything is well combined, fold in the dark chocolate.
Drop cookies onto a lined baking sheet.
Bake for about 12 minutes and serve.
Store them in a jar if they will be eaten quickly. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge or even freeze them. Enjoy!
