Flourless Chocolate Chunk Almond Butter Cookies [Paleo | Keto Option]
Almond butter cookies are soft, chewy and filled with chocolate chunks. This easy recipe is flourless so it's naturally gluten free and it's also paleo-approved. I'm also sharing a keto option! You'll love this no chill, simple cookie.
Servings: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy almond butter (no stir almond butter is best)
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chunks plus more for topping (I like to use Lily’s or Enjoy Life)
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl with your hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the almond butter and coconut sugar together on high speed until smooth creamy and smooth, 2-3 minutes. It may look lumpy at first but keep beating because it will come together.
- Add the egg, vanilla, baking soda and salt and mix until combined, 1-2 minutes. Add the chocolate chunks and stir together with rubber spatula or wooden spoon to combine.
- Use a large cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon to drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart. Place a few more chocolate chunks on top of each piece of dough then bake cookies for 7-9 minutes, being careful not to overbake.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for ten minutes to set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
