Equipment

Sheet pan
Parchment paper

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour (or substitute all purpose flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup almond butter (or substitute any other type of unsweetened nut butter or seed butter)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt to a mixing bowl, then mix to combine.
Add 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup almond butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, then use your hands to mix thoroughly until a cookie dough texture is formed (this is a sticky job so wear kitchen gloves if you prefer).
Use your hands to roll the dough into 16 evenly sized balls, and place them, evenly spaced, on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Use your fingers to press the dough balls into flatter circle shapes.
Bake for 12-14 minutes (12 if you like them soft and chewier, 14 if you like them crispier).
Let the cookies cool off before removing from the pan and serving.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days or freeze them for up to three months.
