These almond butter chocolate chip cookies are made with just a handful of ingredients, but they’re so delicious! Studded with chocolate, these soft cookies are so tasty, you’d never guess they’re vegan!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup smooth almond butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave
  • 2 tablespoons applesauce or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
