Ingredients
- 1 cup SunButter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- sea salt, optional garnish
Instructions
- First preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Stir jar of SunButter before measuring. Add SunButter and brown sugar to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Mix until combined.
- Once combined, add in egg, vanilla extract and baking soda. Stir to combine.
- Fold in dark chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough onto lined baking pan. Place at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are just set in the middle.
- Remove from oven. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Cool on pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Stir SunButter before using. The oil separation inside the jar is natural.
- Tightly pack light brown sugar.
- Coconut sugar can be used instead but yields a slightly more gritty texture. Dark brown sugar can also be used but will make these cookies much darker in color.
- The cookie dough should be easily scoop-able and not sticky.
- Use an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop to scoop equal sized balls of dough.
- Bake until middles of cookies are just barely set.
- After baking, handle carefully. These cookies are fragile and will firm up as they cool.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 7 days.
