Ingredients

1 cup Ezra Cohen Montreal Natural Almond Butter
¼ cup of coconut sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda

Optional extras: Chocolate chips (regular or mini), crushed up pretzels, crushed up graham crackers, shredded coconut, mini marshmallows, sprinkles, chopped almonds, dash of cinnamon, butterscotch chips, teaspoon of honey.

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine all ingredients in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a wooden spoon, and mix until you have a well-formed dough. [If you’re adding any extras, gently stir to add in after mixing.]

2. Roll cookie dough into balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You should have about 16 cookies total and may need to do two batches. Bake for 9 minutes, then remove your cookies from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to one week. For a special breakfast, we like to crumble our cookies up and use them as a sweet layer in our Almond Butter Parfait. You can also make movie night ice cream sandwiches by taking two cookies and spreading a scoop of your favorite ice cream between them.
