about 18 cookies
Ingredients
1 cup
(256 grams) unsweetened almond butter
1 cup
(200 grams) granulated sugar
1
large egg
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
- Combine the almond butter, sugar, and egg in a bowl and mix until smooth and thick. Use a tablespoon-size cookie scoop to drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto a plate. Sprinkle with flaky salt if you’re using it, then pop in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer the cookie dough blobs to the baking sheets, spreading out about an inch apart (you might have to bake a couple rounds). Bake for about 14 minutes, rotating halfway through, until the edges are just starting to brown and the tops are crackly.
- It’s so important you let these cool completely before trying—that’s the only way you’ll get the contrast between a crisp crust and fudgy middle.
