Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond butter
- ¼ cup fine ground almond flour
- ½ cup powdered confectioners sweetener we use Lakanto
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Optional: ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, with a spoon, mix together the almond butter, almond flour, sweetener, vanilla, egg, and salt until well combined.
- If desired, stir in sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Roll or drop cookies into 2-inch dough balls onto your cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Press down slightly, to flatten the cookies.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the centers of the cookies are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Confectioners' sugar works best in this cookie recipe.
- If you use a natural almond butter, make sure that you stir in any separated oils before measuring.
- Store on the countertop for 4 to 5 days in an airtight container or ziplock bag. Allow to cool completely before storing.
