Ingredients
1cupcreamy almond butter
1egg
1tbspmaple syrup
1tspvanilla extract
2tbspground flaxseed
2tbspunsweetened cocoa powder
2tbsproughly ground whole espresso beans
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add all ingredients except for the espresso beans to a bowl and mix until just combined. Stir in roughly ground espresso beans.
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, form balls equal to about 1 1/2 tablespoons and place them on an ungreased baking sheet. Using the bottom of a flat glass, press down on each dough ball to flatten each cookie to approx. 1/2" thick.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the tops have set. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes so they set up some more. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Notes
Make sure your almond butter is nice and stirred up before using so the oils are evenly mixed in.
