Tips + tricks for the perfect grain free almond butter cookies

Use all-natural creamy almond butter with only almonds and salt as the ingredients. My favorite is Wild Friends.
Make sure your egg is at room temperature. This will ensure the coconut oil doesn’t coagulate and cause your cookie dough to be lumpy.
Pack your almond flour when measuring just like you would brown sugar.
Measure your cassava flour like you would regular gluten free 1:1 flour. Fluff it, spoon it into your measuring cup, and level it off.
Bake your cookies just until they are barely golden brown on the edges. They are incredibly delicious slightly underbaked and will finish setting up on the baking sheet while they cool.

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¾ cup + 1 tablespoon cassava flour

Instructions

step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.

step 2

In a large bowl, add almond butter, maple syrup, egg, coconut sugar, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined, smooth, and creamy. Add the cassava flour, almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined. Fold in caramel chocolate chunks.

step 3

Using a #24 cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 to 3 inches apart. Top each cookie with a few pieces of caramel chocolate chunks. (As the prepared dough sits, it may start to look a bit oily/separated. Just give it a quick stir to reincorpate the oils).

step 4

Bake cookies for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle each cookie with flaky sea salt. Allow cookies to cool for 5 to 10 minutes on cookie sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
