Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • Ice cream scoop
  • Baking tray
  • Baking paper
  • Metal spatula
  • Wire rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. If you don’t have a large oven or baking tray, bake these cookies in batches as they will spread.
  • In a bowl, whisk the egg. Add in the almond butter, then the brown sugar, baking soda and vanilla. Mix everything together very well until smooth and you have a dough.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips until combined.
  • Scoop the dough, 2 Tablespoons each, onto prepared baking sheet. Gently press down on the dough with the back of a spoon. I like too add more chocolate chips on the top of each cookie dough.
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes. The cookies will look very softened thats perfect! For crispier cookies, bake for up to 12 minutes but nothing longer.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not over bake as they will firm up as it cools down
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5-10 minutes and then using a metal spatula transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling
  • Store them in air tight containers at room temperature for up to 7 days
