Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (187.5 g) almond butter , smooth drippy kind
- 1/3 cup (107.33 g) maple syrup
- 1/4 cup (61 ml) non dairy milk such as almond milk
- 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) salt

- 1/4 cup (24.75 g) chopped pecans or other nuts or additions
Instructions
- Warm the almond butter and maple syrup in a microwave, or over stove top in a saucepan until warm. Whisk well to combine. You can also just leave it outside for 15 mins to reach room temp then whisk.
- Add in the non dairy milk, salt, vanilla extract, spices if using. and mix in.
- Add the coconut flour and baking soda and mix well. Add in the chocolate chips and pecans and mix in. Chill for 15 mins.
- Add in more coconut flour if too sticky. Shape the dough into flat discs and place or parchment lined baking sheet. Press down to make thinner cookies as they will rise while baking
- Bake for 10 mins at 350 degrees F (180 deg C), a minute or so longer for crispier or for larger cookies. (bake smaller batches to adjust based on your oven, pan, nut butter behavior).

This is my first try making GF, vegan cookies and these turned out absolutely delicious. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
Richa
thanks!
Jessica
I made this exactly as written except that I doubled it. It turned out perfectly except that the chocolate chips started to melt because the almond butter mixture was still too warm when I put the mixture in the fridge to chill. Still turned out great. My fiancé actually said this was the best dessert I’ve ever made, which seems weird to me because I’ve made a lot of pretty great desserts! I thought they were really good, though, and were even better after being in the fridge for a day.
Richa
awesome! He prob liked the chocolate that melted in!
Rebeca Torre
Hi! I made this recipe, love it! I made double the ingredients and I made the super large cookies, they were very good and I’m going to put them on display tomorrow in my vegan restaurant because we are just integrating sweets! Replace chocolate for raisings, they are delicious!Thank you
Richa

Richa

Cassie Thuvan Tran
Oh my gosh, these cookies look heavenly! I love how this recipe is really easy to make. I really want to try making this and adding some rolled oats and almonds for extra crunch!
Catarina
Can’t wait to try these! But I don’t have almond butter, do you think it will work with peanut butter, or almond is a must? Thanks in advance!
Richa
Yes any nut butter will work. PEanut butter is a bit thicker, sp youo might need a bit less coconut flour. also maybe a minute less bake time. check earlier.
Catarina
Amazing, will give it a try! Thank you for the quick reply, Richa. 🙂
Beth
In the uk all our nut butters seem to be solid so can’t find the drippy type. Is there anything I could do to make it drippy or is there an alternative as I would love to try the recipie x
Richa
when you warm the nut butter + maple syrup. The mixture should get drippy and smooth. Mix well so that all the nut butter is evenly changed texture and proceed.
Beth
Thank you so much, I can’t wait to try it xx
Jayleen
Can I sub almond butter for earths best butter?
Richa
I am guessing you mean earth balance butter. No that butter is completely different from nut butters. You can use earth balance in this recipe for a classic chocolate chip cookie https://www.veganricha.com/2016/12/vegan-chocolate-chip-cookies-coconut-oil.html
Jayleen
Yes that’s the one earth balance lol but thank you for your prompt reply! I have already made your classic chocolate chip ones and they were bomb!!! I will be on the search for almond butter today! Can’t wait to try these!!!
Richa
Awesome! Any smooth nut butter will work. 🙂
Julie
Perfect timing! Been craving chocolate chip cookies for awhile now! Does the almond butter need to be chunky or creamy? Can we sub walnuts for pecans?
Richa
Creamy. yes to walnuts
trish
Can I use another flour – preferably rice flour for these cookies? My second choice would be chick pea flour….I can’t have anything coconut (wheat, sunflower). I’ve been really wanting cookies lately…so the timing is great! I have everything else ready to go 🙂
Richa
rice flour will work. you might need a bit more flour.
trish
Excellent thank you! And thanks for the quick reply – can’t wait!
Kitkat
Looks awesome!!!! What temp though for oven??? :0
Richa

Alison Breen
These look fab! I’m not aware of any refined sugar free chocolate chips in Australia. Is there a particular brand you’ve used?
Richa
lilys dark chocolate chips are sweetened with stevia. There might be other dark chip brands as well. What i meant was no added refined sugar in the dough. You can switch the chips out with other things.
Andrea
Can you use almond flour you think?
Richa
instead of coconut flour or instead of almond butter?
Andrea
The coconut flour.
Richa
Yes, you would need a bit more almond flour. Also add a tbsp starch (arrowroot or corn) if you can
Crissie
These look amazing! So, we have to be nut-free in my house (deadly allergies). How do you think soynut butter or another sub would work?
Richa
i think sunbutter will work. add a tsp lime juice to the batter else the cookie will turn green, edible but funky green with sunbutter. i havent tried soybutter enough to know is direct sub works. if you have used it in baking and it behaves like nut butter, then try it.
