Healthy Recipes Dessert Cookies Chocolate Chip Cookie Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies 4.5 (2) 2 Reviews All that's required to make fresh-from-the-oven cookies is five ingredients, a single bowl and 35 minutes. "These cookies are a staple in our house," says Top Chef 's Season 14 champ Brooke Williamson. "The almond butter they call for is loaded with healthy fats and adds protein. My son Hudson is a big fan of them too!" If you use roasted almond butter, your cookies will have a darker hue.
