Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup milk (dairy or dairy-free)
- ½ cup almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut sugar
- ¼ cup cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
- 3 cups quick cooking or rolled oats
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheets: Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside to prepare for the cookies.
- Melt and combine: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the milk, coconut sugar, and cacao powder, stirring until the mixture starts to boil. Let it boil gently for 2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
- Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the vanilla extract, almond butter, and oats until the mixture is fully combined and the oats are evenly coated.
- Form the cookies: Using a medium-sized cookie scooper, drop scoops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Flatten each cookie slightly with a spoon to your desired thickness.
- Set the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut sugar with brown sugar or regular granulated sugar if preferred.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and ensure your almond butter has no added dairy ingredients.
- Quick cooking oats will yield softer cookies, while rolled oats provide more texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh.
