Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2/3 cup almond butter (creamy, sweetened)
  • 3 Tablespoons butter, vegan butter or coconut oil
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup dried cherries

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Cover 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or nonstick pads and set aside.
  • In a large, microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, regular butter (or oil) and honey and heat on high for 30 seconds until the honey is very runny and the butter is about half melted. Use an electric mixer to mix until the butter is completely melted and ingredients are combined.
  • When the butter is melted and the mixture has cooled slightly, beat in the egg and vanilla, followed by the salt and baking soda.
  • Slowly incorporate the cocoa powder.
  • Mix in the oats.
  • Put away the electric mixer and use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips and cherries.
  • Use a spoon or cookie scoop to divide the dough into 10 2-Tablespoon balls. Space them evenly on the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until tops are crisp. Cool cookies on sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
