That means that you can feel good serving these up to anyone who can’t have gluten and also those with peanut allergies! Be sure to check that your other ingredients are processed safely if there is a concern for allergies!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and prepare two baking sheets.

Using parchment paper makes it easier to clean afterwards.In a medium bowl, beat the egg.

Add the almond butter and brown sugar, and mix well.Sprinkle the baking soda and vanilla in, and mix well again.

If using chocolate chips, fold them in now!

Scoop about 2 Tbsp dough and use your hands to make a ball.

After placing each ball on the baking sheet, use a fork to press down and get the “criss-cross.”

See note below about extra sugar.

Bake for 12 minutes. Let cookies complete baking on cookie sheets for 10 minutes before removing to cooling rack.

How to get the perfect criss cross marks on your cookies:

This is a really simple trick! You’ll find that it’s much easier to make these little criss cross marks with your fork if it’s not sticky!

After each cookie, dip your fork into some sugar so that the dough doesn’t stick to the prongs of your fork and your cookie will get a little extra sprinkling of sugar on the top!
