Chewy and delicious gluten-free almond butter cookies sweetened with dates and with only 5 ingredients!

Spring brings all the hope and excitement of renewal so it’s a perfect time to try our kid-approved Almond Butter Cookies, a delicious vegan Passover-friendly cookie that can be served for dessert, a snack, or simply with morning coffee.

Our recipe uses Medjool dates and creamy almond butter to create a deliciously sweet and chewy cookie that’s heart-healthy and tastes absolutely decadent. The blend of flavors – the caramel sweetness of the dates, the floral notes of vanilla, and earthy nutty flavor of almond butter – is rich and sophisticated making them unequaled as a Passover dessert or accompaniment to afternoon tea.

Convenient and Easy To Prepare

The great news is that our Almond Butter Cookies are a snap to prepare with just a handful of ingredients that you can find in your pantry or neighborhood market. Almond flour and potato starch provide the framework for our cookies. Potato starch can be easily found in large grocery stores or kosher markets before and during the Passover holiday, and it’s especially useful as a thickener in soups and stews for those homes that are gluten-free.

You may want to sample some of our other gluten-free Passover desserts like our Fudgy Flourless Chocolate Cookies or the incredible Orange Almond Honey Cake based on a Tarta de Santiago, the iconic cake from Spain that our Mom absolutely loves. In our version, we add crushed pistachios and orange zest to deepen the orange flavor and give the cake a little extra texture and crunchiness. You can do the same with our Almond Butter Cookies.

Delicious Add-ins

Try experimenting with your favorite flavors as add-ins or toppings for the cookies. We like to add a handful of vegan chocolate chips, orange zest, or a few tablespoons of dried coconut into the recipe. You can also roll the cookies in ground pistachios or coconut, dust them with cocoa powder or powdered sugar, or drizzle the cookies with melted white or dark chocolate.

These almond butter cookies are super easy to prepare! All you need to do is combine all the ingredients in the food processor, pulse until a dough forms and done!

We like to use a small ice cream scoop to portion out the cookies, to make sure they’re all even.

Flatten each dough ball slightly using the palm of your hand.

Use a fork to make a crisscross pattern on the cookies

You can dip or drizzle the cookies with melted chocolate.
