Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Add the flour, oats, salt, and baking soda and stir until completely incorporated.

Step 4

Add the chocolate chips and stir one more time to combine.

Step 5

Scrape the dough into a ball and place on the prepared parchment paper, flattening slightly if necessary. I like to press a few chocolate chips into the top of the cookie. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.

Step 6

Bake 8-9 minutes or until just starting to dry out on top. The cookie should still be soft. Allow to cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet before enjoying.
