Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 cup natural drippy almond butter, thoroughly stirred before measuring*
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups oat flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened plant-based milk
  • ½ cup non-dairy chocolate chunks, plus more for topping if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the coconut sugar, almond butter, and vanilla on high for 2 minutes using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sea salt. Place the bowl next to the mixer.
  • With the mixer off, add the oat flour mixture. Then, pour the almond milk over the oat mixture and begin beating on low and increase speed to medium. Beat for 15 seconds or until just incorporated. Do not over-mix. The dough should pull together into large, moist crumbles as it moves around the mixing bowl. Add the chocolate chunks and briefly mix again to incorporate.
  • Use a 1 ½-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out and tightly compact mounds of the dough. Transfer each mound to the pans, keeping about an inch of space between each. You should have about 20 mounds of dough. If desired, top each with another chocolate chunk or two.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies appear set. Do not over-bake. These cookies barely spread at all, so go with your gut and baking time rather than look.
  • Let cool completely on pan.
  • Store the cookies at room temperature (loosely covered with foil) or in the refrigerator. I prefer them chilled!

Notes

*Avoid using the dense, dry portion of almond butter that collects at the bottom of the jar.
