I picked up a Clean Eating magazine to do a little research for Camp Endeavor and because I’ve heard a lot about this book/diet/magazine and never looked into it. I was actually expecting a very high protein, veggies and fruit diet (no carbs or sugar) but it was much more balanced than I thought! I might even subscribe to it!
Since my last baking success, I’ve been on the lookout for new recipes like never before. Bread is next but I needed one more success before tackling something so scary. I have a serious fear of yeast people. I also had been on the lookout for a “healthier” cookie. This cookie fit the bill and I actually had all of the ingredients on hand (which means it is a very short and basic list). The cookies did not disappoint. But then again, what’s disappointing about chocolate and peanut butter?
Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies adapted from Clean Eating
- 1 cup unsalted almond butter (I used peanut butter because I was out of almond)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 oz dark chocolate, chopped into pieces
Pre-heat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, stir together first 5 ingredients until blended. Stir in chocolate.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes and let cool 15 more minutes.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that magazine. Which is odd because I’m a magazine junky! From what I’ve read I like the concept of it, will have to find it next time I’m at the store.

how few ingredients, they’d be easy to make! Now, that’s a new slant on ‘clean’!
How many did the batch make?
About 20 cookies, smaller sized.

yeast isn’t so scary – just don’t overthink it
I ruined bread trying to figure out the right temperature of water to dissolve the yeast in – then I learned to just use your finger and when it starts to feel warm, it’s perfect. I’ve had great bread since!

If you ever want to join in on a little “Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day” friendly baking, I have a small group going with a couple other bloggers. Easiest homemade bread, I swear!
Yes I would love to join! Is it from a cookbook? I think I just saw it at Barnes & Noble!

Are they allergic to all nuts? You could definitely use peanut butter or a different nut butter.
