Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the oats, cinnamon, and baking soda; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat almond butter, coconut sugar, egg, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Mix in dry ingredients with a wooden spoon, then gently fold in chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, placing them 2 inches apart.
- If you want fat cookies, leave them as is. If you'd like your cookies a little bit flatter, then press the dough down with the palm of your hand.
- Bake cookies for 9-10 minutes and remove when edges barely begin to turn a golden brown. The cookies may look a little underdone, but they will continue to cook once you remove them from the oven.
- Cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with remaining cookie dough. Makes 18 cookies.
