Flourless Almond Butter Cookies (Paleo)
Flourless Almond Butter Cookies are soft, chewy treats made from a simple dough of almond butter, egg, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt. Optional vanilla extract or cinnamon add mild warmth and depth. The absence of flour creates a dense yet tender texture that sets after baking. Their straightforward preparation suits those seeking gluten-free or paleo-friendly baked goods.
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!
