Salted almond butter rye chocolate chip cookies (v)
Classic chewy chocolate chip cookies, but vegan and kinda nutritious
I was after a cookie that was chewy and rich but not full of sugar, which is how most vegan cookies achieve their texture. I ended up settling on almond butter, which provides some of the protein that would otherwise come from eggs. I use whole dark chocolate bars instead of chocolate chips, for the taste and those satisfying bites of pure melted chocolate. After about eight tries, and a lot of cookies forced onto family and coworkers, I think I got the perfect texture. Chewy, with a slightly caramelized outer layer and soft inside, that doesn’t dry out or get hard after a day.
