Geoff's Nut Butter Chocolate chip cookies

My friend, Erin, shared this recipe with me. It's kind of a hippie recipe, but these cookies are seriously good.

Ingredients:

1/4 C Almond butter
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 C Maple syrup
3 T olive oil
1 T vanilla
1 egg
1 C whole wheat pastry flour (I only had stone ground whole wheat flour, and it turned out just fine. You could also substitute with 25% almond meal.)
1/2 t salt
1/2 t baking soda
chocolate chips and or chopped almonds (optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350*F. In a large bowl, combine natural almond butter, maple syrup, oil, egg and vanilla extract until well blended.

In a separate bowl, mix together whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, along with chopped almonds, and stir until just combined.

Let sit for five minutes. Roll heaping tablespoons of dough into balls, flatten to about 1/3 of an inch and place onto cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Makes 18 cookies.
