Units
Scale
- 1 cup creamy or crunchy almond butter
- 1/4 cup brown rice syrup (or honey)
- 1 egg at room temperature, beaten
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix almond butter cookie dough. Combine almond butter, brown rice syrup, egg, baking soda, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix together together until just combined into a uniform mixture. The dough will be wet.
- Roll cookie dough into balls. Roll the almond butter dough into about 1-inch balls and place a few inches apart onto the baking sheet.
- Bake. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all cookies are baked.
- White chocolate drizzle. While cookies cool, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Once they're melted, use a spoon to drizzle the white chocolate on the cookies. Allow the white chocolate to set, and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage & freezing instructions. To store these cookies, allow them to cool completely and store in an airtight container or zip-top bag. To freeze, place that airtight bag or container in the freezer for up to three months and thaw cookies on the counter.
- Swaps. Use milk chocolate or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate, if desired! You can also swap another sweetener for brown rice syrup, such as honey, date syrup brown sugar, or coconut sugar.
