Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line (2) rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Place the almond butter, egg, maple syrup, baking soda and vanilla in a medium bowl. Beat on medium speed with a hand mixer until combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
3
Using a 1 1/2" cookie scoop, scoop the cookie batter (about a heaping tablespoon of batter) and place on the prepared baking sheet about an inch and a half apart. Flatten the cookies slightly with the palm of your hand as they won't spread while baking.
4
Bake for 10 minutes or until set (the cookies will be very soft), then remove from heat and sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the flaky sea salt if desired. Cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then place on a wire rack and cool completely. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Room Temperature Almond Butter 🥜Use almond butter that's at room temperature to ensure it blends smoothly with other ingredients and creates a uniform dough without lumps or separation.
- Don't Overmix the Dough 🥄Mix just until combined after adding baking soda—overmixing develops gluten in the eggs and creates dense, tough cookies instead of tender, chewy ones.
- Chill Before Baking ❄️Refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes before baking to prevent cookies from spreading too thin and to achieve a thicker, chewier texture.
- Strategic Salt Placement 🧂Sprinkle flaky sea salt on cookies immediately after removing from the oven while chocolate is still slightly warm—this enhances sweetness and creates a sophisticated flavor contrast.
- Maple Syrup Quality Matters 🍁Use pure, grade-A maple syrup rather than imitation for deeper, more complex sweetness that complements the almond butter's earthy notes without overpowering them.
