Step 1: Place the nut butter (almond butter or peanut butter) and coconut sugar in a large bowl and mix with an electric mixer until smooth.

Step 4: Then add the chocolate chips and mix again to incorporate them well.

Bake cookies

Step 5: Form cookie dough balls with your hands or with a cookie scoop and place them on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly flatten the top of the cookies with the palm of your hands or a fork.

Step 6: Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F / 180°C for about 12 minutes until they are golden brown and still a bit soft in the center. Let the baked cookies cool a bit on the cookie sheet before moving them gently onto a wire rack or a plate and let them cool completely.

Storage instructions

Recipe Questions

Can I substitute almond butter with another nut butter?
Yes, you can substitute almond butter with peanut butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.

How do I prevent my cookies from being too dry?
Make sure to measure your oats and flour accurately. Also, don’t overbake the cookies, as this can dry them out. Slightly underbaking keeps them chewy.

What kind of oats should I use?
Use old-fashioned (rolled) instant oats for the best chewy texture. Quick cooking oats can be used, but avoid steel-cut oats, as they won't soften properly in cookies.

Can I replace the egg in the recipe?
Yes, for an egg-free version, you can use a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water).

Can I use sweeteners like honey or maple syrup instead of sugar?
Yes, but if you use liquid sweeteners like honey or pure maple syrup, you may need to slightly reduce the liquid in the recipe or increase the oats to maintain the right dough consistency.

Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes, simply use gluten-free oats and a gluten-free flour blend to make the cookies gluten-free.
