Chocolate Cherry Almond Butter Cookies

Because we have so many fresh cherries on hand, I thought I'd find some way to bake with them. After searching, I stumbled upon a recipe from PaleOMG and modified it slightly. I added in some almond flour and gluten-free rolled oats for some added texture.

These cookies are paleo and gluten-free —there's no white sugar or flour. I was a bit surprised with the flavour... they kind of have a hint of a pumpkin-ginger-apple taste to them. They kind of remind me of Fall.


Here's what you'll need:

1 cup of almond butter
1/3 cup honey
1 egg, whisked
2 Tbsp rolled oats
2 Tbsp almond flour
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (you can use milk chocolate if you'd rather)
1/2 cup cherries, pitted and sliced

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place all of the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips and cherries, into a medium bowl and mix until well combined. Then fold in the chocolate chips and cherries.

Scoop out dollops of the cookie dough onto the parchment paper leaving a 1-2 inch space in between each. This should make 10 large cookies or 12-15 smaller cookies.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Let the cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
