Oh, and I can’t forget to mention that you can tailor the cookies to your liking! If you prefer a crispier cookie, use brown sugar instead of honey. Instead of almond butter, you can use your favorite nut butter (like peanut butter or chocolate peanut butter). Feel free to fold in coconut, dried fruit, oats, or your favorite chocolate bar chopped up; the possibilities are endless!

Ingredients

• 1 cup all natural creamy or chunky almond butter (use your favorite brand)
• 1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat together almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt until smooth and creamy; about 2 minutes. Fold in 1/3 cup of chocolate chunks.
Drop tablespoon sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parachment paper, top each cookies with extra chocolate chunks and an almond if desired. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies turn a slight golden brown underneath; they will be puffy! Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough. Makes 18 cookies.
