Scoop the dough, about 1½ tablespoons each, onto the prepared baking sheet.

Gently press down on the dough mounds with the back of a spoon.

If the cookie dough balls are a little oily from the almond butter, blot each with a paper towel.
-
If desired, press a couple of chocolate chips onto the tops of each cookie dough mound.

Bake for 10 minutes. The cookies will look very soft, and that’s ok.

Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cover the leftover cookies tightly and store at room temperature for up to 7 days.
Recipe Notes
- The cookies freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
- For the almond butter, homemade, natural, or commercial almond butter can be used, however, the type will alter the texture slightly. Be sure to stir in any excess oil on top of the natural brands, and get it completely mixed in. An equal amount of peanut butter may be used instead of almond butter.
- Coconut sugar such as Trader Joe’s brand organic coconut sugar can be substituted in place of brown sugar.
