These almond butter cookies are absolute MAGIC. They are four ingredients, super thin, sweet and crisp, but use absolutely NO flour. I’m still shocked. The only things you need for these cookies are:
- almond butter
- brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- Baking soda
- And slivered almonds and chocolate if you are feeling ~extra~
If we look at the science of it – the egg adds the structure, the sugar contributes to the spread, and the almond butter is the binder – but still somehow when I make it my brain always goes…but how?
One big thing to know is that these spread out in the oven like crazy. Be sure to only do tiny scoops to avoid any #drama.

These are INCREDIBLE. I require a little sweet after the baby’s bedtime but try not to indulge. While I wouldn’t call these “healthy,” maybe more nutritious than other cookies I could be having on a daily basis. I added slivered almonds, chocolate chips and some heath pieces. SO GOOD.
Ah, I’m so glad you love them!! Those additions sound perfect. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review! <3
