Flourless Almond Butter Cookies (Paleo)
Description
These cookies start with almond butter combined with egg, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt to form a cohesive dough without any flour. Optional additions like vanilla extract or ground cinnamon enhance flavor subtly. The dough is shaped into balls and flattened slightly with a fork before baking at 350°F for about 8 to 10 minutes. Baking time determines the texture, with shorter times yielding chewier cookies and longer times producing crisper edges. Cooling the cookies on the baking sheet is important to allow them to set and hold their shape since they lack the gluten structure flour typically provides.
The finished cookies have a tender, nutty flavor and a soft center balanced with slight crispness on the edges. They make a straightforward snack or dessert with minimal ingredients and preparation.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter well-stirred, unsweetened
- 1 egg large
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- Optional Adds:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add all of the ingredients for the cookies to a mixing bowl and stir well until completely combined.
- Roll dough into balls about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter and place on the baking sheet. Give plenty of space between the cookies, as they spread a lot! I make mine in two batches
- Using a fork, gently make two impressions in the dough, flattening out the balls just slightly.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or to desired level of crisp. For chewier cookies, bake 7 to 8 minutes, and for crispier cookies, bake 10 to 11 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet at least 10 minutes before removing them with a spatula. Since these cookies do not contain flour, they need some time to “set up” or else they will fall apart easily. Serve and enjoy!
