4 Ingredient Flourless Almond Butter Cookies (Gluten Free)

Unbelievably soft ‘n chewy flourless almond butter cookies made with just 4 ingredients! The best gluten free almond butter cookies—easy to make, delicious, simple ingredients. 

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!

Ingredients

Units Scale

Almond Butter Cookies

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Optional Topping

  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!

  1. I was wondering if honey could be used instead of coconut sugar. I know there’s a conversion necessary, due to the liquid honey vs dry sugar.
    Thank you.

  2. These cookies came out delicious! My family loved them! I sprinkled cinnamon after they came out of the oven. Great GF recipe! Thank you!






  3. Hi! I haven’t made these yet, but they look delicious 🙂 My one question is, is it necessary to use coconut sugar?

  4. What an interesting and delicious cookie! It stays chewy and the chocolate chips stay gooey for at least a day–they were gone before 24 hrs!! They were a bit crisp on the edges first out of the oven and the next day so very chewy and satisfying. My friend who is gluten free loved them and with Godiva chips, it took it over the top. I think they were the best the next day allowing the flavors to develop. Thank you, Demeter!! xoxo






  5. These were so simple to put together and quite delicious. I ended up using peanut butter instead because it’s all I had on hand, but it worked perfectly. The cookies are very delicate, almost melting in your mouth. They are a definite keeper.






  6. Oh wow! These are definitely going to be a hit here! My hubby is going to be all over these. So excited to make these tonight!






  7. I am sure this will be our new family favorite cookie recipe. I am drooling over these cookies!






  8. Can you make these with a regular egg? I don’t have flax meal in my house regularly and don’t want to buy a special ingredient if I don’t have to.

    1. Hi Annie. Hm, I haven’t tried it myself in this recipe so I can’t say for sure, but I’ve had some readers do that in other recipes with good results. If you do try it, let me know how they turn out!

  9. These 4 Ingredient Flourless Almond Butter Cookies look wonderful, and I love that the recipe doesn’t take a truckload of ingredients!!!.






  10. I love how easy these cookies are to make. They really come together quickly and disappear quickly too!






  11. I’m super excited to make these cookies! I’m always on the lookout for gluten-free baking recipes and this one looks like a winner. Thanks for sharing!
