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!
