Almond Butter Dark Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies


Almond Butter Dark Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies

Makes about 16 cookies

1 cup white whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup almond butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 cup bittersweet or dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

On medium speed, cream together the butter, almond butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat to combine. On low speed, gradually add the flour until just combined. Stir in the oats, and then the chocolate chips.

Use a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons) and drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden. Cool completely on the baking sheet and then store in an airtight container at room temperature.
