I’ve recently fallen in love with this Rose Salt . . .

This Rose Salt from Suncore Foods looks amazing, smells amazing, and tastes like heaven. I’ve yet to find another to compare; and it was my definite inspiration for these cookies!

These cookies are heavenly. So simple and easy to make, yet so complex in flavor and texture. They are a new favorite around here!

Almond Butter Cookies

These Flourless Salted Ginger Almond Butter Cookies are:

• Decadent & indulgent.

• Super chewy and ooey gooey with a most satisfying ‘bite’.

• Ridiculously flavorful.

• Salty, sweet, nutty, with a hint of ginger spice.

I’m a big fan of these if you can’t tell, and baking something without the use of flour still inspires a bit of magic in the kitchen for me as well! I hope these deliciously chewy cookies do the same for you!

Top Tips for Making Flourless Almond Butter Cookies

1. Use coconut sugar!

   I do recommend using maple syrup or honey in place of coconut sugar in this particular recipe.

2. Refrigerate the dough!

   For best results, do not skip the refrigeration step! If you skip it, they may flatten and spread and not be so thick and chewy. 🙂

3. Use natural almond butter!

   I recommend using almond butter with minimal ingredients and no added oils or sugars for best results.

Common Recipe Questions

1. Can I make these with peanut butter instead?

   Yes! You can use any nut or seed butter in place of the almond butter in this recipe.

2. Can these be made sugar-free?

   Yes. I recommend using a granulated sugar-free sweetener like this one from Lakanto.

3. Can I omit the egg and make these almond butter cookies vegan?

   I have not tested it, but I do think a flax egg would work well in this recipe. If you try it, I would love to hear about it in the comments!
