Ingredients
Wet ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy nut butter (peanut or almond)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
Dry ingredients
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips, mini
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients, except chocolate chips. Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients, until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Use a spoon to create round 1-2 tablespoon-sized balls. Drop each ball onto prepared baking sheet, leaving an inch between each. Flatten with the back of your spoon or in a criss cross pattern using the tines of a fork.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They can also be frozen (this helps us with portion control!).
Notes
Consistency: Nut butters can range anywhere from a runny mess to a sticky goo. Depending on how runny your nut butter is, you may have to slightly adjust the ratio. We use nut butter that has a thick, creamy consistency.
Dairy-free/ Paleo-friendly: To make this recipe dairy-free, use coconut oil, almond milk and dairy-free chocolate chips. This will alter the taste slightly but your cookie should still bake up nicely.
We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
Always check for FfL-friendly ingredients.
