I promise you would never guess that these are "healthy" cookies. They are intensely chocolatey, pleasantly chewy, and just sweet enough. They even passed the "David test", and that is saying a lot. Have I convinced you to make them yet? Well, what are you waiting for?
Chewy Coconut Double Chocolate Almond Butter Cookies
adapted from Clean Eating Magazine
.jpg)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sucanat (can substitute light brown sugar)
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup chocolate almond butter (I used Justin's, but I'm sure others would work, or you could probably make your own)
1/2 cup shredded coconut
3 ounces dark chocolate, roughly chopped
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together egg and vanilla until foamy. Add sugar, salt and baking soda, whisking until light and fluffy. Whisk in almond butter (this may take a little time, since the batter gets pretty thick). Stir in coconut and chocolate.
3. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set. Allow to cool on baking sheet for at least 5 minutes, then cool completely on a cooling rack. Yields approximately 15-18 cookies.

this is the kind of recipe that I need to try more. I keep telling myself to find stuff like this (GF/DF) - these look really great. My grandma and cousin's daughter who we are pretty close w/ are both celiac patients so finding treats to bring to things can be a challenge as I am always the one asked to bring the "good stuff" - but I hate that they can't eat it. I will be using this for sure! Thanks
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely give these a shot. They seriously taste like eating an Almond Joy.
DeleteThese look great. ESP since I recently found out I'm gluten intolerant. Yum!! Thx for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh, those look so good and easy to make! Will have to give these a try!
ReplyDeleteI love health food! They look delicious!
ReplyDeleteYUM these look like my kind of cookie! Chocolate almond butter is the best - sometimes I eat it straight from the jar and it tastes like frosting! I'll definitely be giving these a try :)

Oh, I definitely eat it straight from the jar. And I don't feel the least bit guilty about that. I justify it by thinking at least it's healthier than eating Nutella straight from the jar (which I also do on occasion).
DeleteThese cookies look delicious!
