How to Make Almond Butter Cookies – step by step

First, mix eggs, coconut sugar, vanilla, melted butter, almond butter, and cinnamon in a bowl.
Then stir in almond flour and baking soda in until wet ingredients are incorporated into dry ingredients.
Last, stir in chocolate chips. Use a mini 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop to measure dough – roll into dough balls and place 3 inches apart from each other on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake at 375F for 8 minutes then cool for 5 minutes.

Can I substitute almond butter for peanut butter in cookies?

The cookies can be baked with whichever nut butter you prefer. You can use almond butter, peanut butter, or cashew butter. The taste will slightly differ depending on the type of nut butter you use – but results will be the same when baking the cookies.

Tips for Making Almond Butter Cookies

For chocolate chips you can use regular or mini semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips. I recommend using Enjoy Life chocolate chips – this company makes chocolate with no preservatives or unnecessary ingredients and they taste SO good.
This recipe includes almond butter, but you can also use peanut butter or cashew butter.
To keep cookies fresh and chewy, store in a sealed container or ziplock bag at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
