Preheat oven to 150 degrees. Combine nut butter, honey, vanilla and organic egg into a mixing bowl. Mix well until combined. The mixture will be soft and a little sticky, but that’ s how it’ s supposed to look( depending on what nuts you use, consistency will vary). For a firmer cookie you can add a few tablespoons of almond meal coconut. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Spoon delicate portions onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, using a small teaspoon or mini ice-cream scoop. Chop almonds or peanuts then garnish over the top. Press the cookie down so it flattens. Sprinkle lightly with a little flaked sea salt and bake for 30 minutes or until golden. Remove and allow to cool. Enjoy!
Tip:
Add 2 tablespoons of Healthy Chef Organic Pea Protein or Healthy Chef Native Whey Protein Isolate to pump up the protein and boost amino acid profile. Add 80g roughly chopped dark chocolate for a choc chip version. To make chocolate fudge cookies, add 2 tablespoons naked chocolate.
