Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (250g) creamy almond butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1 large (50g) egg
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, brown sugar, and egg. Stir vigorously until the mixture becomes a smooth, cohesive dough. Fold in the vanilla extract if using.
  3. Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  4. Use a fork to press a cross-hatch pattern into the top of each cookie to ensure even cooking.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are deep mahogany-brown and the centers remain slightly soft.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool and set on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing.
