Chocolate Chocolate Almond Butter Cookies


No that is not a typo...these are double chocolate cookies packed with tons of protein...and are grain free! Don't they look like something that's really bad for you??!! Good news is that they aren't! Definitely want a glass of nut milk, coconut milk, tea (or an Americano!) to wash these ones down...but they are so good! Great for a quick snack to get you through the afternoon, or a work out! The best part is they taste like you're eating a treat!

Tip...make sure you're almond butter is relatively fresh (soft & runny)...and not a jar that's been sitting on the back shelf of your fridge for 6 mths...these will come out very crumbly if it's not fresh:)

Chocolate Chocolate Almond Butter Cookies


1 c almond butter
1 egg
1/4 c cocoa powder
1/4 c chocolate chips
2 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp maple syrup (optional)


Preheat your oven to 350ºF.

Throw ALL ingredients into ONE bowl and mix thoroughly! Does it get any easier?! I added 1 tsp of cinnamon to mine as well:)

On a parchment lined baking sheet, roll the dough into small balls and slightly flatten. These cookies won't change shape too much while baking, so shape them to how you desire them to look once cooked!

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies appear baked. These are soft and chewy and store well in the fridge!

ENJOY!
