Flourless Almond Butter Cookies
The perfect little sweet bite, these crunchy flourless almond butter cookies are the cookies that started my gluten free baking journey! Creamy almond butter, maple syrup, and a handful of other ingredients are all you'll need to quickly whip up this recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 cup smooth almond butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease a baking sheet with butter and set aside.
- With a whisk or a good wooden spoon (or with a mixer) combine almond butter and sugars until well combined. Add maple syrup, egg, and baking soda and mix well. Add the almonds and stir to incorporate.
- With a teaspoon, scoop out balls of dough and roll into balls, then press lightly with a fork. Sprinkle a bit of sugar over the top of each cookie and bake for 10 minutes or so, until lightly browned. Cool on a baking sheet for two minutes.
Notes
To make vegan: Omit the egg and add one teaspoon of cornstarch.

These look delicious. There also appears to be a chocolate chip in the pictured cookie, though no chocolate chips are mentioned in the recipe. Is this a variation?
