Nut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Yield: 9 cookies

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Bake Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

☆ 1 cup nut butter (we used almond butter, but any other nut butter will work)

☆ 1/2 cup coconut sugar

☆ 1/4 c almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)

☆ 1 tsp baking soda

☆ pinch salt

☆ 1/4 cup tapioca starch (+ 2 heaped tsp to thicken mixture if needed)

☆ 70-80g dark chocolate chunks, we use loving earth 72% dark chocolate

Instructions:

1. Add the nut butter, coconut sugar, almond milk, baking soda and salt into a medium sized mixing bowl. Before mixing, add 1/4 cup of the tapioca starch and mix until combine. The mixture should become thick, if not add in the extra 2 heaped tsp of tapioca starch.

2. Chop your chocolate into desired sized chunks and add into the mixture. Mix until just combine.

3. Use a table spoon to scoop mixture and place on a baking tray. Place each cookie at least 3 cm apart as they will spread (there is also no need to press the cookies down).

4. Bake at 160 degrees for 10-12 min

5. Remove from the oven and allow to completely cool before eating - this is important as they need time to set.

6. Keep in an airtight container for 5 days. Refrigerate to keep extra fresh!
