Almond Butter Cookies – These are the absolute BEST almond butter cookies, they are completely grain and gluten free cookies that are super soft and chewy!
Hey, guys! ย As you may know my good friend Melissa typically does the grain/gluten free posts around here.
But, this time, you get me instead!
Melissa recently surprised us all with the news that she and her husband are expecting a new little bundle of joy this year!
I couldn’t be more excited for them – love all dem cute babies!
So, Melissa will be back to do her twice per month grain free treat posts soon – right now, a girl needs her beauty rest, ya dig?
If you’ve read any of Melissa’s other posts like these almond butter brownies or these cheesecake bites, you probably know a little of her story.
She eats completely grain free for health reasons – but of course, even with grain free living, there still needs to be treats!
Lucky for us, she comes up with the absolute best gluten free treats out there. ย Not that I’m biased or anything.
I love that she shares these recipes with us here and we can appeal to more people, because not everyone eats the same way.
Even though I don’t eat grain free, I’ve found her recipes (completely delish) but also super helpful when I’m in a situation of having to take treats to school for my kids and there is someone with a grain allergy in the class.
Otherwise, I would have no idea where to turn!
I know you want me to shush and talk about the cookies.
These are really simple to make. ย The dough doesn’t require chilling at all, which is always a win!
They have a nice, rich, almond butter flavor.
They also have that kind of “toasty” flavor that you get from the coconut sugar, which I happen to love.
Nice, soft, perfectly chewy, cookie heaven.
I only ate 4 when they came out of the oven. ย Don’t judge.

Can I use white granulated sugar instead of the coconut sugar? Really would love to make these right away, but I don’t have coconut sugar! Thank you!
Just made these with my daughter – delicious! Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe!
Thanks, Diane! ๐
Do you have suggestions to make this dairy feee as well? I’m trying to help out a friend :/ I’m not having luck without eggs for levener.
Hi Melanie, you could always try to use chia seeds in place of the eggs.
