These cookies may look familiar to you, they are the star of my popular Grain-free Chocolate Chip Cookie Banana Ice Cream Sandwiches! But they are just way too solid on their own, that I felt they definitely deserved a dedicated post of their own here on TY.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 12 -18 cookies

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup creamy unsweetened, unsalted almond butter (if you are allergic to nuts, try sunflower seed butter)
  • 1 large pasture-raised egg
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar, maple sugar, granulated monkfruit or regular granulated sugar would also work
  • ¼ cup honey, or maple syrup or other liquid sweetener
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup mini dairy-free chocolate chips, I like Enjoy Life brand

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350º F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, or the bowl of your standup mixer, add the almond butter, egg, coconut sugar, honey (or maple syrup), ground flaxseed, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Beat with a mixuer until smooth and creamy; approximately 2 to 3 minutes. You may have to stop it once or twice to scrape down the sides. Fold in the mini chocolate chips with a spatula.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies turn a slight golden brown; they will be slightly puffy but they go down as they cool!
  • Cool the cookies right on the baking sheet for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They are quite fragile when they first come out, so don’t rush moving them, give them the full 10 minutes. Repeat with any remaining dough. Makes 12-18 cookies, depending on the size you make your cookies.
  • I find these store best in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

 

Recipe Notes: I haven’t yet tested this recipe with other nut or seed butters, I also haven’t tested with ground chia in place of flaxseed and I haven’t tested with egg replacer. Please feel free to experiment with any of these and report back and if I have the opportunity to do so on my end, I will update the post!  If you are looking for an egg-free, flax free, dairy-free cookie recipe, check out these Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies.
