Ingredients
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 cup creamy almond butter
- ⅓ cup granular sweetener or sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the almond butter, sweetener, and egg to the bowl and mix until well combined and a dough forms
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form the dough into 12 equal-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Use a fork to press down on the dough balls in a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use almond butter made only from almonds, without added sugar or oils, for a healthier choice.
Adjust the sweetness level based on your preference.
If the dough feels too sticky, try chilling it in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes before shaping it into balls.
Avoid overbaking the cookies to prevent them from drying out. Keep an eye on them and take them out when the edges turn a light golden brown.
Mix in some chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or coconut flakes for added flavor and texture.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze them for more extended storage.
