Banana Almond Butter Cookies

This was my first attempt at cooking with almond butter.  I found a recipe that I had the ingredients for and went for it.  I reduced the amount of almond butter, added a banana and some coconut flour.  The cookies came out looking and tasting really good!

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup almond butter 
• 1 banana (mashed)
• 1/3 cup honey (can sub real maple syrup)
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp. salt (*only add the salt if you are using unsalted almond butter)
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 2 Tbsp Coconut flour
• 1/2 cup dairy free chocolate chips (such as Enjoy Life brand)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Oil baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
3. Stir together first 9 ingredients. Mix well. Make sure honey is fully incorporated.
4. Add chocolate chips and mix until well combined.
5. Scoop tsp sized balls onto baking sheet.  The cookies may spread, depending on the thickness of the nut butter, so leave space between.

6. Bake 9-12 minutes or until lightly browned.  The top of the cookies will be very soft.  Let them sit and cool a few minutes to set before moving them to a cooling rack.
