Recipe

Makes 12 cookies
Ingredients
4 tablespoons (57g) softened butter
1/3 cup (80g) chocolate hazelnut almond butter or substitute regular almond butter (I used Justin’s brand)
3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups (156g) almond flour
1 teaspoon (5g) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate

In a large bowl or bowl of stand mixer, cream together butter and chocolate hazelnut almond butter. Add brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix until fully incorporated. Fold in chocolate chunks. Chill dough for 1 hour. Divide cookie dough into 12 dough balls (about 50g each) and place 6 each on parchment lined cookie sheets. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place cookie dough in the fridge or freezer while the oven preheats. Bake at 350°F for 12-14 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let cookies sit for 10 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to wire cooling rack to cool. Enjoy!
