Flourless Almond Butter Cookies
These crisp and chewy cookies, naturally gluten free, are studded throughout with rich chocolate morsels and almond slivers. I think these would make the perfect afternoon treat, especially when served with tea or hot Mexican chocolate.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter unsweetened
- ½ cup light or dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup slivered almonds
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Beat almond butter with the sugars until combined. Add egg and mix well. Beat in baking soda, maple syrup, vanilla and salt until dough is smooth. Stir in almonds and chocolate chips.
- Measure dough into balls about the size of a tablespoon and place evenly spaced (about 2 inches apart) on a cookie sheet. Flatten slighty. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let rest on the pan for 5 minutes, then remove cookies from the pan and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
