Ingredients for this recipe

• Rolled oats — The same kind you use for overnight oats. Oats give the cookies a huge boost in fiber and healthy fat. Also, they’re a great source of manganese and vitamins B1 and B5.
• Baking soda — Make sure you use baking soda, and not baking powder.
• Creamy almond butter — This is the secret to the recipe: using almond butter instead of dairy butter gives us lots of extra protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
• Sweetener — Natural sweetener, xylitol, or any other sweetener of your preference.
• Vanilla extract
• Eggs
• Sugar-free chocolate chips — Use something like Lily’s brand, which are sweetened with stevia and easy to find.

INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTIONS

If you can’t tolerate or don’t want to use the ingredients shown above, here are some substitutions you can make:

• Oats — You can substitute the rolled oats with rolled amaranth or rolled quinoa.
• Almond butter — Swap this out for any other natural nut or seed butter. If it’s very firm or dry, it may be difficult to mix. If so, try warming it up slightly.

How to make almond butter cookies

Because you won’t need to cream butter and sugar together, making this healthy cookie recipe is much easier than making traditional chocolate chip cookies!

1. Whiskthe dry ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl.
2. In another bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, except for the chocolate chips.
3. Stir the wet mixture into the oats, and combine well. When the mixture is incorporated, then gently stir in the chocolate chips.

Tips for the best cookies

1. When panning the cookie dough, drop each tablespoon of batter 2 inches apart until the tray is full. The dough will be sticky, so use a second spoon to assist it onto the pan.
2. Don’t over bake the cookies. After 9 to 11 minutes of baking, they may look a little wet or underdone. This is normal; they’ll continue to cook on the sheet after you remove it from the oven.
3. Cool the cookies completely. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. If you try to remove them while they’re still warm, they are likely to fall apart.

HOW TO STORE COOKIES

• Store the almond butter cookies in an airtight container with a sheet of parchment paper between the layers.

• When kept this way at room temperature, they should stay fresh for up to a week.

• For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to six months. Be sure they are completely cool before freezing them.

When you’re ready to thaw the cookies, take them out and place the container on the counter.

Do not open it, but instead, let the cookies come to room temperature inside of the sealed container.

This usually takes between two and three hours, depending on the type of container and how many cookies are inside.

These cookies are crispy from the outside, but very chewy and soft inside, not very sweet and probably much moreflavourful than any type of cookie you buy at the store or bakery.They are also gluten-free and I am sure you will eat them without feeling guilty.Idefinitelythink youshould give this recipe a try and have fun make them!
