Ready to try the best bone broth EVER? I finally found a shelf-stable brand that rivals my homemade bone broth. If you don't have time to spend hours making your own, you now can get a good quality broth that's made with organic bones, slow cooked long enough to really qualify as bone broth and draw out the deep nutrients and collagen (10 grams of protein per serving, AND comes in a lightweight package that keeps it fresh longer and makes it cheaper to ship. Check out my new fav bone broth and get 20% off of your first order HERE.
I have a magnet on my fridge that says, “I can’t be good all of the time.” I like this philosophy in life. It’s good to have dedication to and discipline around your health, but sometimes you just want to eat a cookie. That’s where these little morsels come in. They have absolutely NO flour in them, they have just the right amount of chewiness to them, and they taste AMAZING.
These cookies were adapted from this recipe for flourless cookies. I decided to use almond butter
because I like it better than peanut butter. I added shredded coconut
and almond slices. I used dairy, nut and soy free mini chocolate chips. You can decide how thick or thin you like your cookies by the amount you press your little cookie balls down. Either way they are delicious.
Who would have guessed that it was so easy to make a flourless cookies?
I have discovered that my favorite way to eat these is right out of the freezer. Because I have made several batches while perfecting the recipe, extras have been stored in the freeze. Sometimes I get a craving after dinner, and it’s been easy to grab a treat since I know they are there.
- 1 cup almond butter
- ¼ cup honey (like this)
- 1 egg
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ½ cup chocolate chips (this brand is dairy, soy and nut free)
- ¼ cup shredded coconut, unsweetened (I use this one)
- ½ tsp celtic sea salt (like THIS one)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Preheat oven to 325" F
- Mix almond butter and honey in a large bowl until smooth
- Add egg, salt, shredded coconut, and baking soda and mix again
- Fold in chocolate chips and sliced almonds
- Using a tablespoon, form the dough into round balls and place on baking pan lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Press balls down slightly, depending on how thick you want your cookies
- Bake 8-11 minutes until cookies are golden brown
- Let cool completely before removing from pan (or cool for 15 minutes on baking pan then transfer to cooling rack)

You won’t believe how good these are
These were a thicker version. Press them down a bit more and they will be thinner cookies
Do you have any recipes that are gluten free, sugar free and vegetarian.
My father in law

Gluten-free, sugar-free, and vegetarian diabetic diet…… that can be tricky….. but I found this great blog of someone who has some really amazing recipes….

Hi Katja, I love your blog! Yummy and inspiring.
I remember Gayna one day during teacher training pulling chocolate out of her bag after lunch while saying, “I can’t always be good!”
Love and hugs, Allison
Hi, Allison. I have such sweet memories from our time with Gayna. Thanks for reminding me. And thanks for the kind feedback on the blog.
much love, Katja
Wow! I just made these cookies and they are delicious! I used natural peanut butter (my favourite) and I didn’t have any good quality sweet chocolate chips so I used just a handful of Hershey’s chipits and then I added some raw cacao nibs.
Thanks for the feedback!! I’m glad that you liked them. I haven’t tried these with peanut butter. I was thinking of trying sunflower seed butter next. Thanks for visiting 🙂
I just made these and they are AWESOME!!! I added a little bit of GF oats and it was exactly what I needed! Yummmm!
Could I omit the shredded coconut or sub it with something else?
You can just leave it out. You could add a bit of chopped nuts or raisins for texture. Let me know how they turn out. 🙂
Did you mean 1/4 cup of shredded coconut? :/ I was not sure but I hope my cookies turn out fine! 🙂 Great recipe!
Yes, thanks. I fixed it. 😉
How did the cookies turn out?
These sound great except I can’t stand honey. What would you suggest instead, as a substitution?
Real maple syrup is delicious in these cookies!
Hi Katja,
do you happen to know the carb count in these cookies, estimate even?
Thanks so much dying to make these tonight!
I’m sorry. I do not. I don’t calculate carbs. or calories, etc. I did read that 1 tablespoon of Almond Butter has about 3.4 grams of carbohydrate. Let me know if you make these. 🙂
I just made these, they are the best “paelo” cookies I have ever had. so moist.. like Mrs. Fields.. OMG.. I used Enjoy Life Chips.. my “dough” wasn’t so thick I dont know how you got those little dough balls, so mine were a little flat.. i also left out the extra almonds and put in a dash of vanilla.. SO SO good. Thank you for posting this!
I’m so glad that you enjoyed them. My family loves them too. Almond butters come in many different consistencies so yours may have been a bit runnier than the one that I use. I actually prefer mine more flat. My kids like them puffier. 🙂
These are AMAZING! I have been “clean eating” and toying with the idea of trying paleo, and the fact that I could eat these cookies just make me a VERY happy camper. Thank you!!
Yay! I’m so glad you liked them, Megan. Clean eating is fun once you learn how to do it!
I see above you mentioned you were thinking about making them with sunflower butter. Did you ever try that? My daughter is allergic to tree nuts/peanuts so that’s what I was going to do, just curious if you tried that and what you thought. Thanks.
I haven’t but I bet they would be really good. I love sunflower butter. Let me know if you try it!
Terri — I just made these with sunflower butter and they took slightly longer to bake (2-3 minutes), but turned out great!
