Almond Butter Cookies Recipe
Almond Butter Cookies are the ultimate cookie with a delicious combination of rolled oats, shredded coconut, and flax seeds with creamy almond butter and rich dark chocolate chunks.
Servings: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2.5 tablespoon toasted flax seeds
- 16 ounces almond butter
- ¾ cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8 ounces dark chocolate chopped into small chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl gently whisk together the oats, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, shredded coconut and toasted flax seeds until combined. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the almond butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla on low speed until smooth and creamy; approximately 2 minutes.
- With the mixer still on low, slowly add the dry oat mixture to almond mixture, mixing just until combined. Remove bowl from the stand and, with a large spoon or spatula, stir in the dark chocolate chunks.
- Scoop (approximate) 2 tablespoon rounds of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving enough room between each ball for them to expand. Bake each batch for approximately 10-12 minutes.
- Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
