To get started, prepare the cookie batter by combining the almond butter, egg, and vanilla extract into a food processor. Blend until smooth and stir in remaining ingredients until everything is folded together.

Then, scoop out some dough and shape into a round ball, measuring about 1-1 1/2 inches each. Set them on a prepared baking sheet and gently push down with your palm, flattening each one into a small cookie shape. Place in the oven to bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. When finished, serve warm and enjoy!
