Dear ,
Today, I want to share a super-simple, rich and delicious chocolate chip cookie recipe that I think you'll love.
Made with almond butter (no flours) and dark chocolate chips - these cookies are so easy to make.
And in the recipe below, I've shared two alternatives for sweetening. Either way, the results are a chewy, delicious cookie with less than 5 grams of sugar (that are also high in vitamin E and a good source of magnesium!).

Chewy Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yield: 12
Active Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy almond butter
- 1 pastured egg + 1 egg yolk
- 4 Tbsp. coconut sugar*
- 6 Tbsp. non-GMO erythritol*
- 2 tsp. organic vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 4 Tbsp. Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels or 85% dark chocolate bar, chopped
- Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon) for sprinkling (optional)
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg and egg yolk together. In a medium bowl, add the almond butter, coconut sugar, erythritol, baking soda, vanilla and salt. Pour in the whisked egg and stir well to combine. Fold in the chocolate and stir to incorporate.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop 1 Tbsp. balls onto the lined cookie sheet. Leave 2 inches of space as they will spread quite a bit.
- Transfer to oven and bake 9-11 minutes or until edges just start to brown. Remove from oven, let cookies cool on pan for 5 minutes, and sprinkle with Maldon, if using.
- Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
* Using a blend of erythritol and coconut sugar helps to achieve the chewy texture while reducing the sugar content. You may use all erythritol or all coconut sugar, if desired. If using all erythritol, add 10-15 drops of liquid stevia to the dough to sweeten.
