Wet Ingredients:
½ Cup Almond Butter, smooth, unsweetened
1/3 Cup plus 1 2/3 Teaspoon Maple Syrup
1 1/2 Tablespoons of Olive, Grapeseed or Melted Coconut Oil (HEALTHIER OPTION)
1 ½ Tablespoons of Soy free Vegan “Butter”, room temp

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/8 Teaspoon Almond Extract
Dry Ingredients:
½ Cup Oats, GF Bob’s
¼ Cup plus 2 Tablespoons Oat Flour, GF, Bob’s or make your own
2 Tablespoons Bob’s 1:1 GF Blend
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
¼ Cup almond Flour (Almond Meal works too)
½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
½ C Chocolate Chips, Enjoy Life or Hu Gems if you want unrefined sugars and white sugar free
Optional Add ins- Nuts, Seeds, Cocoa Nibs, Dried fruits like Goji or Raisins!
Directions:
- Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a sheet pan with a Silpat (WHICH IS AWESOME) or parchment paper.
- Whisk all the wet.
- Whisk all the dry.
- Add the DRY to WET.
- Add chocolate chips and any other add ins.
- Let chill to marinate at least an hour or to a few days. They are better! I leave them in the freezer and bake them off as needed.
- Use a Tablespoon Truffle scoop. Leave 2 inches between cookies as they spred.
- * Bake 8-11 minutes for gooey ones. I like them gooier for Ice Cream Sandwich cookies or to fold into ice cream so 8-9 minutes.
* Up to 10-11 minutes though. They will be a little crispier and if left at room temperature, they will start gooey and crisp.
