Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- In another bowl, mix almond butter, coconut sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Cooking
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and fold in until combined.
- Gently stir in the dark chocolate chips to ensure even distribution.
- Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, dollop generous portions of cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, and the centers look set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serving
- Allow cookies to cool fully for the best texture.
- Pair with a glass of almond milk or tea for a delightful experience.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.

Notes
For best results, chill your dough for 30 minutes before baking. Store leftover cookie dough in the fridge for up to a week. Use honey instead of coconut sugar for a different flavor profile.
