Maple Almond Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Ultra soft and chewy cookies sweetened with maple syrup, the nuttiness of almond butter, and loads of dark chocolate chunks!
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond butter
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks/chips*
Instructions
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the almond butter, maple syrup, and brown sugar together until combined. Mix in the egg, followed by the vanilla.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Roll dough into balls and place them 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet. Flatten just slightly before placing them into the oven to bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
*I like to reserve about a 1/4 cup of the chocolate chunks for pressing into the tops of each cookie just before baking them in the oven.
