Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegan butter, room temperature
1/2 cup Nutty Novelties Dark Chocolate Almond Butter
3/4 cup maple sugar or other unrefined sugar
2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 tbsp cashew milk
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup almond flour
1 cup tapioca flour
3 tbsp potato starch
1/2 cup vegan mini chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together tapioca flour, potato starch, baking powder, and baking soda.
-
Cream together butter, Nutty Novelties Dark Chocolate Almond Butter and sugar with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes. Mix in vanilla completely. Then, pour in sunflower oil and cashew milk and mix with the hand mixer until no longer separated.
-
Mix almond flour in with hand mixer.
-
Gently mix in 1/3 of the whisked tapioca flour and other dry ingredients at a time.
-
Fold the chocolate chips into the dough until they're evenly dispersed.
-
Scoop out about 1/4 cup portions of dough and roll into balls.
-
Only bake 6-8 cookies at a time and leave plenty of space between them for spreading. Bake for about 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Let cookies cool no less than 10 minutes before removing from the parchment, or they'll likely fall apart. Enjoy!
