Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup almond butter
¾ cup coconut sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup cacao nibs
½ ounce high-quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
2 tablespoons cacao nibs, or to taste
1 pinch flake salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Beat together almond butter and coconut sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Add egg, molasses vanilla extract, cocoa powder, baking soda, and sea salt and continue beating until combined, about 30 seconds. Mix in 1/4 cup cacao nibs.
  • Drop batter by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet; cookies will be very crumbly while warm.
  • Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth, about 1 minute. Drizzle a little melted chocolate on each cookie and top with a sprinkle of cacao nibs and a pinch of flake salt.
