Description
Chewy and delicious gluten-free almond butter cookies sweetened with dates and with only 5 ingredients!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 3-4 tbsp almond flour
- 2 tbsp potato starch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips, melted (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- Soak the dates in hot water for 2-3 minutes.
- Squeeze the water out and place them in the food processor. Add the almond butter, 3 tablespoons of almond flour, potato starch and vanilla and process until all the ingredients come together to form a dough ( it should be soft and smooth and slightly sticky, but workable. If it's not, add the additional tablespoon of almond flour and and mix again)
- Working with 2 teaspoons a time (we like using a small ice cream scoop), form 15 balls with the dough. Arrange them on the lined baking sheet and flatten them slight with the palm of your hand. Using a fork, do a crisscross pattern on each cookie (this step is optional)
- Bake for 8-10 minutes and let them cool completely. Drizzle with melted chocolate (optional)
