Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C).
Add the flour, almond butter, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract to a bowl and mix until well combined into a thick, sticky mixture. If the mixture seems too thick, add in a tiny bit more milk.
Add the chopped chocolate to the bowl and mix until combined.
Pour the mixture into a piping bag or ziploc bag with the corner tip cut off.
Pipe small dime-sized circles onto a parchment paper-lined pan. You should be able to fill two pans with this mixture.
Bake the mini cookies for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Let them cool completely before serving. They will be soft at first right out of the oven but will firm up as they cool. Serve with milk or enjoy as is!

Notes

Be sure to check on the cereal at the 13-minute mark and remove them from the oven once the edges are lightly brown so that they do not burn. Carefully flip one of the mini cookies over to check the color. They will be soft at first but will firm up as they cool.

If the dough seems too dry, add a very small amount of milk, but be careful not to add too much so that the mixture becomes too moist.

Natural almond butter or peanut butter works best for this recipe since it contains natural oils from the nuts which help add moisture to the dough. You want the nut butter to be drippy in texture.

Make sure to use finely chopped chocolate chips so that large chunks don't get stuck in the piping bag, making it difficult to pipe out the small circles.
