Ingredients
  • 1 cup creamy raw or roasted almond butter
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar or dehydrated cane sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate coarsely chopped (I recommend 70-85% the actual cookie is fairly sweet so a darker chocolate contrasts best) or chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  2. Combine coconut or cane sugar with the almond butter until smooth, add baking soda,vanilla and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl combine the egg and egg yolk, add to the almond butter mixture and combine until well incorporated.
  4. Mix in the chocolate chunks.
  5. Drop about 1-11/2 Tbs of the dough onto baking sheets, make sure to leave adequate space between cookies as they spread out quite a bit. 6 cookies per sheet works well, or you can do it in batches.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes and allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
