Baking soda helps the cookies rise, and salt balances all the sweetness. - 3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips - 1/4 cup chopped walnuts Adding vegan chocolate chips makes these cookies truly delightful.

The dough should feel thick and sticky. If it's too dry, add a little almond milk. This helps it hold together. When placing the cookie dough on the sheet, leave space between each ball.

Watch the edges; they should turn golden brown. The centers need to stay soft for a chewy texture. To avoid over-baking, set a timer. Check the cookies a minute early. If they look pale, they need more time. But if they are golden, take them out. Serve your cookies in a cute basket or on a nice plate. This makes them look more inviting.

Enjoy your sweet treats! {{image_4}} You can make these cookies unique by changing the flavor. One way is to add different nut butters. Peanut butter gives a rich taste. You can use cashew or sunflower butter if you prefer. Each nut butter adds its own twist. You can also try adding spices to the dough. A dash of cinnamon can bring warmth. Nutmeg adds a cozy, sweet note. These spices work well with the chocolate chips. Experiment with small amounts to find your favorite blend. If you want to change the sweetness, try agave syrup or date syrup. Both sweeteners bring their own flavor and sweetness. They can change the cookie's texture slightly, too. For those who need sugar substitutes, options like stevia or erythritol work well. These choices are great for diabetics. They keep the cookies sweet without the sugar rush.

Ingredients
  

1 cup almond butter

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup coconut sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup oat flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula or whisk to mix these ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning throughout the flour.

        Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a cohesive dough develops. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.

          Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips and walnuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough for a delightful crunch and added flavor.

            Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave ample space between each ball, as the cookies will spread during baking.

              Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft to ensure a chewy texture.

                After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to set. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
