Chewy Chocolate Almond Butter Cookies recipe. A paleo, grain-free, gluten-free, refined sugar and flour free cookie that is chewy, cakey, fudgy and full of chocolate almond butter flavor.
Cover cookie sheet in wax or parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (if your oven is really strong, adjust to a lesser temperature).
Mix the chocolate chips and almond butter together in a bowl and put the bowl into the microwave for 45 seconds to 1 min. Mix the almond butter mixture until smooth. If the chocolate hasn't melted, heat it again until it does.
Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla to the mixture and mix with a whisk. Add the baking soda, salt, and coconut flour to the bowl and mix.
Put 2 Tbs sized balls of dough onto the cookie sheet (this should make around 11-12 cookies). Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops of the dough look set and the bottom of the cookies harden and golden a bit.
Notes
If you make one bath of 12 cookies, each cookie has about 118 calories and about 2.3 grams of protein.
