For an extra indulgent touch, after baking and while still warm, drizzle melted chocolate or add chocolate chips on top.

Feel free to substitute almond butter with peanut butter or any other nut butter of your choice for a unique twist.

If your dough is too firm, add extra nut butter. If it is too soft, place it in the fridge for about 15 minutes before shaping cookies.

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days, or freeze them for a longer shelf life.

IS ALMOND BUTTER GLUTEN-FREE?

Yes, pure almond butter is typically gluten-free. Almond butter is made from ground almonds, which do not contain gluten. However, it’s essential to check the label of commercially produced almond butter to ensure it hasn’t been processed in a facility that also handles gluten-containing ingredients, as cross-contamination can occur.

Let’s start with the essentials. Here are 8 key ingredients you’ll need to create these mouthwatering chocolate almond butter cookies:

1. creamy almond butter
2. brown sugar
3. unsweetened cocoa powder
4. 1 large egg, at room temperature
5. pure vanilla extract
6. gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
7. GF baking powder
8. sliced almonds

STEP-BY-STEP MAKING ALMOND BUTTER CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Preheat and Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease a large baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Cream Ingredients: Using an electric mixer, cream together the almond butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until smooth and creamy.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.

Combine and Mix: Gradually add dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, stirring until a thick and smooth dough forms. Make sure there are no dry patches. Then, stir in sliced almonds

Bake to Perfection: Scoop out the dough with a cookie scoop or a large spoon and place the dough 1/2 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each cookie and bake for about 12 – 14 minutes, until the top of the cookie is slightly firm to touch

Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and cool on the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely
