I remember the first time I ever tried almond butter—I was like, “Why is this not peanut butter?” “What are these little brown flecks all about?” and “Is this cheaper to make at home?”

And most importantly, “How do I make this almond butter business tastier?” aka “into almond butter cookies.” 😉

The answers fell in the following order:

1. Because it’s made with almonds
2. The skin of the almonds
3. Oh HECK YES. (I eventually learned how to make almond butter here)
4. Today’s recipe, that’s how. 😉

Today’s flourless almond butter cookies are gluten free, super to easy to make, with just 4 ingredients, and so mouthwateringly decadent, you’ll wonder why you ever even bothered to buy store-bought cookies.

You ready? Let’s bake this!

How to Make Flourless Almond Butter Cookies 

Preheat

Before getting started, head over to your oven and preheat it to 350°F. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Stir & Fold

Add all of your flourless almond butter cookies ingredients to a medium mixing bowl: almond butter, flax egg, coconut sugar and baking soda. Stir and fold all the ingredients together until well mixed—this if your almond butter cookie dough. 🙂 If you’d like, you can fold in chocolate chips here. 

Scoop

Grab a medium cookie scoop, then scoop and drop balls of almond butter cookie dough onto the baking sheet you lined earlier. Flatten each cookie dough ball with the palm of you hand. Optionally, dot each cookie with chocolate chips.

Bake, Cool and Enjoy

Bake for about 12 minutes, then cool and enjoy the most delicious flourless almond butter cookies!

Equipment

• Unsalted Natural Creamy Almond Butter
• Medium Cookie Scoop
• Coconut Sugar 3pk

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

Almond Butter Cookies

• ▢ 1 cup unsalted creamy natural almond butter, (try homemade almond butter)
• ▢ 1 flax egg, 1 tablespoon golden ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water, whisked together, set for 15 minutes
• ▢ ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar

• ▢ ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract, optional

Optional Topping

• ▢ 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, add all ingredients: almond butter, flax egg, coconut sugar, baking soda and optionally, vanilla and salt. Using a rubber spatula, thoroughly stir and fold until well mixed. Optionally, fold in chocolate chips.
• Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Using the palm of your hand, press down on each cookie to flatten. Cookies will spread. Optionally, press chocolate chips into the tops of cookies.
• Bake for 10-14 minutes. Mine took 12 minutes. Transfer cookie sheet to cooling rack, and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes—do not remove from sheet for at least 20 minutes, as cookies are very soft and fragile. Then, if desired, transfer cookies directly onto the cooling rack until completely cooled. After cooling, cookies will be firmer, but a tad fragile and melt-in-your-mouth. Handle with care. Enjoy!
