Almond butter chocolate chip cookies

Almond butter chocolate chip cookies (PALEO, gluten free)  By www.aunaturalenutrition.com
Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are so yummy my husband, Jeff, asks for them all the time. They are super rich because of the ground pecans. 5*'s, baby!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup melted Tropical Traditions coconut oil, ghee, or butter
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or another natural nut butter, or sunbutter)
  • 1/2 cup honey 
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1 cup almond flour or cashew meal
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 3/4 cup  ground pecans
  • 1 tsp Real sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder (aluminum free)
  • 3/4 cup dark Enjoy Life chocolate chips
  • pecan halves (optional)

Instructions:
1.    Preheat oven to 350F.

2.    Combine coconut oil, almond butter, honey, vanilla, and egg in a medium bowl.  Mix well.  By hand works fine.

3.    In a separate small bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, ground pecans, salt, and baking powder.  Add to wet ingredients and stir to combine.  Add chocolate chips and stir again.   Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes to thicken. 

4.   Scoop dough and place on greased cookie sheet, parchment paper, or I like to use a silpat.  Flatten the cookies with the back of a buttered spatula.  If you have any pecan halves, press one on the top of each cookie.  Oooh, la, la!

5.    Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until browned around the edges.

6.    Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

Makes approximately 2 dozen cookies.  Store in fridge or freezer.

I recently made these cookies (almond-pecan- chocolate chip) and they came out super flat although extremely yummy. I refrigerated the ingredients, as noted. Any suggestions? Thank you. Happy to find your website!

Hi Janan, I'm not sure why they turned out runny. Dang! Glad they were tasty, though!
It's time for me to make a batch of cookies at home, so I'll make them today and see what happens. I'll get back to ya!

Well, Janan, I made the cookies yesterday afternoon and they turned out pretty good. A little flat, but fine. I wonder if your nut butter was more oily than mine? My honey is also quite thick. I do think they could use a tiny bit of coconut flour for stiffness.
I'm so glad you commented, because I think I need to re-do this recipe post with some new photos and improve it. I'll be republishing it soon. Thanks for reading; I really appreciate it!
