Flourless Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The recipe mixes beaten eggs with almond butter, light brown sugar, and baking soda to create a cohesive dough without flour. Folding in dark chocolate chips adds bursts of sweetness and texture. The cookies are scooped onto a lined baking sheet and flattened slightly before baking at 350°F. Baking time is brief—8 to 10 minutes—to prevent drying out; the cookies may appear soft or underdone when removed but will set as they cool.
The resulting cookies have a tender crumb with a chewy texture and prominent almond flavor complemented by scattered chocolate chips. They are straightforward to prepare, requiring no flour, making them accessible for those avoiding wheat flour or seeking a nutty chocolate treat.
Using a mix of commercial and natural almond butters can influence the texture slightly. Serving these cookies fresh or at room temperature ensures the best texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 egg large
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Set oven to 350F
- Crack the egg into a medium bowl and beat it lightly. Add in the almond butter, baking soda, and sugar and mix everything together well.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. I use a (1 3/4 inch) scoop, but you can use a tablespoon. Space the cookies well apart, and flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Don't overbake these, the cookies will look underdone, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Let them cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them carefully to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Use any type of almond butter; a blend of commercial and natural can affect texture.
- Do not overbake; cookies will be soft when removed and set as they cool.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion dough evenly and flatten before baking.
- These cookies provide a flourless option with rich almond and chocolate flavors.
