Ingredients

Servings
  • ¾ cup creamy almond butter
  • ¾ cup Organic Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon finely ground espresso
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 flax egg or regular egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silpat baking mat.
  2. Make flaxseed egg by combining 1 Tablespoon ground flax with 3 Tablespoons of water in a small bowl. While the flaxseed egg gels up, use a large bowl to mix together the almond butter, sugar. Add flax egg, espresso, baking soda and vanilla and mix until combined.
  3. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to place about 1 Tablespoon of cookie dough on baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Cookies will spread!
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool on pan for 3-5 minutes on the cookie sheet before gently transferring cookies from sheet to a cooling rack with a spatula.
  5. They will harden up while cooling. Once completely cool you can transfer them to a storage container.

Notes

  • Almond butter – I'm assuming you can swap with any nut or seed butter, but I've only tested the recipe with almond butter. If you try a different nut butter, let me know in the comments.
  • Flaxseed egg – if these cookies don't need to be vegan you can use a regular egg in place of the flaxseed egg if you'd like.
  • Sugar – as a sub to regular sugar you can use coconut sugar instead. I wouldn't swap it with a liquid sweetener like maple syrup or honey.
