No-Bake Almond Butter Cookies
Raw almond-butter cookies are made with only 4 ingredients and take minutes to make! Take creamy almond butter, add almond flour, honey or date syrup, cinnamon and roll it into a ball for a quick dessert!
Take creamy almond butter, add a little almond flour, roll it into a ball and you’ve got yourself an upgraded, peanut butter cookie. These cookies, alongside chocolate chips, are the quintessential American dessert. I beg you to remember a childhood birthday party that wasn’t stocked high with these goodies. In the past, I’ve found peanut butter cookies to be a bit too sweet or stale and often leave me with stomachaches. Instead, these no-bake, raw almond-butter cookies feed me with energy, thanks to the protein rich nut-butter, and always keeps a gooey, soft center!
Giving this classic a twist: fill it with almond butter, sweeten with date syrup or honey and top with sea salt. This recipe is ideal for those baking impaired cooks out there because there is no baking involved! It only takes 4 ingredients to make – ones that often fill your cupboard – almond butter, almond flour, date syrup or honey and cinnamon. A creamy raw cookie that only requires you to taste as you go. If you like it really nutty, add another tablespoon of nut butter; if you’re like me and are highly addicted to sweets, go ahead and add a little more date syrup or honey. This recipe is great - simple enough to make on the fly and one that definitely satisfies that sweet craving.
