Ingredients

250 grams almond butter (about 1 cup)
1 large egg
120 grams brown sugar (1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
190 grams dark chocolate chips (about 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. In a mixing bowl, whisk 1 large egg until fully beaten.
Add 250 grams almond butter (about 1 cup), 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir everything together until the dough is well combined.
Fold in 190 grams dark chocolate chips (about 1 cup) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and place on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon. If the dough looks oily, gently blot with a paper towel.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on your preferred level of doneness. For softer cookies, bake closer to 10 minutes.
Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle the tops with the remaining brown sugar and press in a few extra chocolate chips.

Notes

Use natural almond butter – Thicker almond butters can lead to a drier dough, while drippy almond butter creates a smoother texture. Here is a link to my homemade, easy almond butter recipe.

Don’t overbake – The cookies will continue to set on the baking sheet after coming out of the oven.

For extra texture – Stir in chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for added crunch.
