flourless chocolate chip almond butter cookiesDo you enjoy a classic peanut butter cookie recipe, but you have someone in your life, say a child or spouse, who is allergic to peanuts or other tree nuts? This the perfect replacement recipe.

Maybe there’s no allergy, but you’re just looking for a healthy alternative and a new go-to cookie recipe. We love this recipe for its simple ingredients and minimalistic approach to a classic recipe, with only 6 ingredients: coconut or brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, smooth almond butter, and optional chocolate chips.
