All you need is a handful of simple ingredients and less than 30 minutes before you’ll be enjoying a batch of  Flourless Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies! This easy recipe results in rich, chocolaty cookies that are gluten-free and completely irresistible! 

I like when a cookie craving can be satisfied quickly. Don’t you?! Probably because I find myself wanting cookies at an inconvenient time, and it’s not possible to take an hour or more to make cookies.

So, we make sure we have go-to cookie recipes that are quick to make. (Not only that, but they also dirty a minimal number of dishes. Definitely a bonus!)

One of our favorite go-to recipes are these flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Since I can’t eat a lot of peanut butter these days, I decided it was time to finally make an almond butter variation.

They basically follow the peanut butter recipe with just a few changes. The main difference is the ratio of brown sugar to white sugar. Using more brown sugar than white sugar in this almond butter variation gives these cookies a softer texture.

Plus, the semi-sweet chocolate chips were swapped out for dark chocolate chips. Feel free to use whatever chocolate you like the best. They all taste great! I just can’t resist adding in dark chocolate wherever I can!

Tips for Making Flourless Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Try to use no-stir almond butter for this recipe, and no matter what type you use, make sure that it is thoroughly stirred before measuring. I’ve found that even some no-stir varieties still need to be stirred, so give it a stir before use for best results.
• You may find that your dough appears to be crumbly looking. That’s fine. It should still hold together when pressed.
• If your almond butter is more on the oily side, your cookies will spread a bit more. Don’t worry, they’ll still taste great!
