Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, brown sugar, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingertips, as these cookies will not spread much during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to crisp up and develop their full flavor.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality espresso powder for the most intense coffee flavor. The better the powder, the more robust the taste.
- Make sure your almond butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother dough consistency.
- Don't overmix the dough - combine ingredients just until they're incorporated to keep the cookies tender.
- For a more intense chocolate experience, try using a mix of dark and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- If the dough seems too dry, add a tablespoon of milk or water to help bind the ingredients.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly and look professionally made.
- Let the cookies cool completely to allow the texture to set and flavors to develop fully.
- For extra richness, you can slightly toast the oats before mixing them into the dough.
- These cookies are best enjoyed within 3-5 days and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
