I mean, really. There is no flour of any kind. There are only 5 ingredients that you would never think would work to make a cookie - but they do. And they actually taste pretty darn good.Before I was on the Paleo diet, I loved peanut butter cookies and it took me a while to get around to trying almond butter. But one day I noticed Costco had it, so I figured I would give it a try. I'm glad I did. I actually like it better than peanut butter. Why do people even eat peanut butter? Oh, probably because it's cheaper. Other than that, almond butter tastes better and is better for you. Win-Win!These cookies are modeled after some of my favorite peanut butter cookies from my pre-Paleo days.  I added some chocolate to this recipe and couldn\u2019t be happier with how they turned out.  They are soft, chewy and delicious - everything you could want in a cookie.  I even liked it without the chocolate, but why leave off chocolate if you don\u2019t have too? Right?These cookies were so good, in fact, I ate them for lunch yesterday (not my proudest moment), but they are made with only 5 all-natural ingredients (which made me feel a little bit better about swapping my salad for cookies :).  These are also gluten-free and Paleo-friendly and perfect for those that have a peanut allergy.It\u2019s no secret that I am a sucker for treats, especially baked goods.  They have always been my weakness, and for a long time, I would treat them like a \u201cforbidden\u201d food.  I would go months \u2013 literally, without eating any treats.  It was no fun, and when I would finally \u201callow\u201d myself a treat, I would binge; like eat 5 huge cookies in one sitting.I finally wised up and realized this was not a lifestyle I wanted to maintain, and I started creating my own treats made with healthy, wholesome ingredients. Now I don\u2019t have to worry about \u201cforbidden\u201d foods, and can enjoy a slice of my decadent 5-Ingredient Paleo Chocolate Pie Recipe with Coconut Crust and not feel guilty about it.Now with that being said\u2026 a \u201chealthy\u201d treat is still a treat.  It shouldn\u2019t be replacing any meals, no matter how tempting.  It also doesn\u2019t mean that extra servings \u201cdon\u2019t count.\u201d  Unfortunately, we still have to eat our healthy treats in moderation, and portion control still matters.  As I like to tell my children \u2013 you have to eat your vegetables before you can have a treat.  It is also true for adults, especially if you are working toward weight loss goals.I had to learn this the hard way.  When I first started taking processed foods out of my diet, I got really creative with all sorts of yummy goodies.  They tasted great, and they were certainly better for me than other baked goods\u2026but they also weren\u2019t helping out my weight loss goals.Luckily I learned this really fast and started treating Paleo desserts like they should be treated, and only had them every once in a while (instead of 3 of these cookies before bed every night :).In conclusion, if you have a night where you eat half the batch of these cookies, don\u2019t beat yourself up \u2013 it happens \u2013 I\u2019ve done it (more than I would like to admit).  Just make sure you aren\u2019t eating half the batch every night \u2013 that might not render the results you are looking for.Enjoy a treat every once in a while, it\u2019s what makes life fun, and it is possible to do that and maintain a healthy weight, it\u2019s just important to remember to make your treat a healthy indulgence and not a nightly sugar binge :).Do you have a tip for the other readers on how to eat Paleo desserts in moderation? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.Mix the egg and coconut sugar together for 2-3 minutes until the mixture lightens in color. This adds air and volume to the cookie, and it helps breaks down the egg protein to help bind the cookie together.Add the vanilla and baking soda and lightly mix.Add the almond butter, just until mixed. No more than a few seconds. Do not over mix.Use medium cookie scoop and drop by rounded tablespoon onto cookie sheet.Bake 8-10 minutes until edges start to lightly brown.Once cookies are cooled, add chocolate topping to cookies as desired (dipped, drizzle, sandwiched, etc).Optional Chocolate ToppingMelt together chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwaving in 30 second intervals to not burn the chocolate is best.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNotes\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHow to MeasureAlmond butter\u00a0 is hard to measure in regular measuring cups. I use an adjustable measuring cup because you can push the almond butter completely out.Working with Nut ButtersNatural nut butters are different than the commercial spreads most people are used to. The oil separates at room temperature. If you don't mix it, you will have very thin oily stuff on top with a very thick paste below.Take an icing spatula and stir the oil down into the solid. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the jar as you do this.Take a hand mixer, use only one regular beater, and insert it to the bottom of the container. Once the beater is in, grip the jar tight\u00a0and mix on low speed. This takes about a minute.Be careful not to let go while mixing, or you will have a mess to clean. That goes for the oil too; it must be mixed in first.Store natural butters in the fridge to reduce separation. It will get hard, so take it out to soften before cooking.It should stay mixed, but if not, just mix again.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNutrition\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFat: 11\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSaturated Fat: 3\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYou may also like...Paleo Desserts IndexSoft-Batch Chocolate Chip Cassava Flour Cookies RecipePaleo Strawberry Nice Cream Recipe with Rhubarb SwirlPaleo Oatmeal Cookies Recipe with Raisins"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Flourless Paleo Almond Butter Cookies Recipe","item":"https:\/\/www.mynaturalfamily.com\/paleo-almond-butter-cookies\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
