Sometimes simpler is better, like in the case of these almond butter cookies. They take just minutes to whip together and taste totally tasty.
We are a peanut free household due to a child with a food allergy. Luckily she can eat all tree nuts so almond butter and jelly sandwiches are a common lunch around here. When I came across a recipe for flourless chocolate chip cookies made with almond butter I was intrigued. Before her diagnosis I had made flourless peanut butter cookies that tasted great, so why not almond butter?

How do you make flourless chocolate chip cookies?
This recipe only has five ingredients – almond butter, brown sugar, eggs, salt and chocolate chips.
Since the recipe only has a few ingredients use the finest quality chocolate chips you can find for maximum flavor. I prefer milk chocolate chips in this recipe and my go-to brand is Guittard, they are available at most grocery stores. I buy my almond butter in a huge jar at Costco but it’s usually reasonably priced at Trader Joe’s too. If you’re not a milk chocolate fan, semisweet chocolate chips also work well in this recipe.
I wasn’t sure what the texture of these cookies was going to be like as the dough is definitely on the soft side. When they came out of the oven I was pleasantly surprised, the cookies are soft and chewy and full of flavor.
Now clearly cookies aren’t health food, but these aren’t a bad choice for the kids. They don’t have much sugar added and almond butter is full of protein and nutrients. All three girls gave them a thumbs up! I do want to mention that many people with peanut allergies also cannot eat tree nuts or any product that is processed in a facility that handles peanuts. While this recipe works for my daughter and her specific allergy I definitely would not call it a universally allergy friendly recipe, so just make sure to check with whoever you’re feeding if they have any sort of nut/legume allergy. That’s the end of my public service announcement, enjoy these flourless chocolate chip cookies!
