Ingredients
- 1 cup of almond butter
- ¾ cup of brown sugar
- 1 large egg

- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add all ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir until combined.
- Take a small ice cream scoop and scoop balls of the dough into your hand. Roll to form balls of approximately one inch in size. Place onto the baking sheet leaving space between each one.

- Allow to cool for ten minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely (or eat them all warm as is what happened in my house).
