Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Nut Butter Cookies

I love these cookies. I love that they're flourless, filled with protein, and my kids will actually eat them. That may have something to do with the chocolate chips... As I've mentioned before, we make allowances for chocolate chips sometimes. We buy the Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips. They're the darkest we can find, and their list of ingredients, although definitely less than perfect, is a lot less scary than the lists on some of the other brands.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Nut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:
1/2 cup raw almond butter
1/2 cup all natural peanut butter
1/4 cup honey
1 dropper of liquid stevia
1 large egg
1 overflowing tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 rolled oats
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together the almond butter, honey, stevia, and egg. Add the vanilla, baking soda, salt, and oats and mix everything together. The batter will be very thick and sticky. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop cookies onto the lined cookie sheets using two spoons. Gently flatten. Bake for 12-15 minutes, then cool on the cookie sheet for an additional 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
