Cook Time 14 minutes
Servings 9

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nut butter almond, cashew, peanut, granola, or sunflower
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp cacao powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well with a spoon or whisk.
  • Add almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a dough forms (it may be slightly sticky).
  • Fold in the chocolate chips. Divide the batter into two equal parts.
  • Using a cookie scoop, place the chocolate chip cookie dough batter on the baking sheet, yielding about 9 cookies.
  • To the remaining batter, add cacao powder and mix well. Scoop out 9 more cookies and place them on the baking sheet alongside the chocolate chip cookies.
  • Combine a chocolate chip cookie and a brownie cookie into one large ball, flatten slightly, and place it back on the baking sheet. These will spread slightly during baking.
  • Bake for 14 minutes, then let cool on the counter before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • Enjoy warm! Store leftovers at room temperature for 3-4 days, in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to one month.
