Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Two of my favorite things...almonds and cookies so needless to say these cookie really hit the spot!

After seeing this delicious looking picture in my latest Clean Eating Magazine I knew I had to make them.

Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

1 C unsalted almond butter (I grind my own at New Pioneer Coop)

3/4 C sugar source (stevia, honey, agave nectar, brown sugar) I used honey and they turned out a little flat

1 large egg

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp sea salt

3 oz dark chocolate chips (or break apart a dark chocolate bar...70% or greater)

I found dark chips at the Coop bulk bins

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350F. In medium bowl, stir together first 5 ingredients until blended. Stir in chocolate.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto parchment lined or greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool on baking sheets. Remove to wire rack and cool. Enjoy!
