These easy almond butter chocolate chip cookies have just 5 ingredients and no flour, butter, or refined sugar. They take just minutes to whip up so you can have warm, gooey, melty, gluten-free chocolate chip cookies anytime!

Almond butter chocolate chip cookies

I love a simple cookie. This easy one-bowl, 5-ingredient flourless chocolate chip cookie recipe is perfect when you need a quick dessert. I usually make giant-size cookies (less scooping!), so they are in the oven in just a few minutes. And they disappear just as quickly.

Fast and easy chocolate chip cookies

These almond butter chocolate chip cookies have become a favorite at my house. They are so fast and easy—and they are sure to satisfy your cookie craving.  Just watch the recipe video to see how simple it is to make them!

I’ve tried these almond butter cookies with several different brands of almond butter, and it really does make a difference in how the cookies turn out. My favorite is Trader Joe’s Crunchy Almond Butter (the salted version). This recipe uses the whole jar, so no measuring is required.

The crunchy almond butter adds chopped nuts without having to chop them. And it’s salty enough that you don’t need to add salt to the cookies. (If you do use unsalted almond butter, just be sure to add a pinch of fine sea salt to the batter.)

Whatever brand you use, be sure it’s a natural almond butter that doesn’t have any added emulsifiers or sugar. The ingredients on the label should be just almonds and salt.

To make it even easier, stir the jar with a nut butter mixer. This little gadget is my new favorite kitchen tool. It screws onto the top of the jar and mixes the oil back into the nut butter without splashing.

These gluten-free chocolate chip cookies are amazingly warm and gooey, right out of the oven. To take them over the top, make an ice cream sandwich with two giant-size cookies and a scoop of your favorite flavor of ice cream—dairy-free, of course!

    I only use Barney Butter due to a peanut allergy. (Or Sunbutter) Have you tried with Barney Butter? Just checking on which variety (I have bare). Sunbutter would be fun if they turn green (chlorophyl) for St. Pats 🙂

      Hi Anne, I have not tried these with Barney Butter. If you use a variety that’s unsalted, you’ll need to add a little salt to the cookie dough. Also, I like the texture using crunchy almond butter. Sunbutter would be fun for St Patrick’s Day!

    These taste INSANE. So easy to make! My husband, who does not eat paleo, kept exclaiming how they taste exactly like “real” chocolate chip cookies. I only made half a recipe and it still made a ton of cookies.

    Hi I just made a batch of these. I didn’t use the backing soda because I wanted them more flat (like what you show) and they still didn’t come out thin. They are more puffy and dome shaped. Should I have put the backing soda in to make them thiner?

    Mine chocolate chip cookie turned out darker than yours and crispy not soft . Do I need to take them out earlier? Finger tested and they weren’t done so I kept adding minutes☹️

      Hi Melanie, I haven’t tested it but I think it would work. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!

    These were very good! Only used ¾ cups sugar and Kirkland brand almond butter, but they turned out lovely. They were a little crumbly and chewy while still warm but then firmed up a bit and we’re rather chewy. Thanks for such a great and easy recipe!

    I’ve tried so many paleo treat recipes and these cookies are by far the simplest and yield the best results. Super simple and they taste great.
