Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond butter, creamy unsalted
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips optional
  • 0.25 cup sliced almonds optional, for topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix almond butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully incorporated and the mixture thickens slightly.
  • Sprinkle in baking soda and salt; stir just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
  • Scoop dough by 1 tablespoon portions, roll into balls, and set on prepared sheets about 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten each ball and press a few sliced almonds on top, if using.
  • Bake 9 to 11 minutes, until edges are set and tops are lightly crackled. Do not overbake.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra texture, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on warm cookies. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
