These delicious Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are not only flourless, but they’re also paleo-friendly and only five ingredients!
HI hi hi—how was everyone’s weekend? I’m going to chat about my weekend while showing you photos of almond butter cookies, so hopefully that’s alright!
Friday I went to yoga per the usual and it wasn’t quite as packed as it has been the past few weeks. I’m pretty certain there were close to 60 people in class every Friday in January. Talk about hot n’ sweaty yoga! This past Friday was packed but not quite as packed which was nice. After yoga I came home and Miguel and I watched the first episode of Fresh Off the Boat. Did any of you watch it? It premiered last week I believe, and I thought it was pretty funny. It’s a little hard to judge a show by the first episode, so I think we’ll keep watching for now.
Saturday morning started off at the gym with Miguel and Justin. I completed a leg strengthening sequence of randomness (aka lots of squats and lunges) followed by a mini cardio series I posted on Instagram. After the gym I came home and made these almond butter chocolate chip cookies while Miguel took Layla to the park. I then proceeded to eat these cookies for lunch. Not all of them but….maybe half? 😀 NOT MAD. I typically eat pretty normal lunches (salads, sandwiches, soups…), but on days when I happen to be recipe testing, my lunches can get pretty interesting. In this case, interesting means delicious.
After downing several cookies, Miguel came home and we went on a walk around Squirrel Hill, a nearby Pittsburgh neighborhood. Nothing major, but it’s nice to explore a part of the city we aren’t so used to sometimes. Saturday night we met up with Miguel’s two friends for dinner and drinks and that was that! Last but not least, I went to yoga with my friend Richelle Sunday morning in downtown Pittsburgh and watched the Grammy’s last night. But back to these cookies…
These cookies are only FIVE ingredients and incredibly easy to make. Almond butter, honey, an egg, baking soda, and chocolate chips are all you need before you’ve got yourself 1) delicious 2) protein-packed 3) super flavorful cookies. Not too bad if you ask me.

OBsessed with flourless cookies (maybe also because I make a mess with actual flour)- These look epic Druga! Pinned!
I didn’t watch the grammy’s live because Australia is in the third world but Rihanna stole my luffah. Bi!ch.

I <3 flourless chocolate chip cookies And these are no exception!
I love cookies like this because you don’t need a million ingredients!! YUMMMMM!
Oh and I’m kind of guilty of liking when the gym finally starts to slow down after January….is that bad?? I see the squat rack and Ruuuuuuuun for it… lol

HAHA I’m the same way. I get really excited when the free weights start becoming available again.
I love you for going almond instead of peanut 😀 And I was planning on watching the Grammy’s, but I ended up having to bail at the last minute because of unforeseen circumstances. Womp, womp. Can I have a cookie to make me feel better? 😀
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted…. link love 2/8 .
You didn’t miss much. Plus, you can always just read the recaps the next day 🙂 ….which is what I end up doing because I never stay awake for the whole thing. YES I’ll send you a cookie!
Oh my gosh i have all these ingredients! Wooo that never happens when I read a recipe I like haha.
I love your honesty about your lunch haha. You can’t post recipes and say you didn’t eat tons of them! It’s just not true! And if it is it’s probably not a great recipe haha. Which is probably why yours always look so good!

Thanks lady! Multiple cookies for lunch has happened more than once…. and I’m never mad about it 🙂
Whoa. These look INSANE! I can’t wait to try them. Pinnneddduuh!
Oh, and the packed January fitness classes are so funny to me. Mine have started to thin out already too. On one side, I wish people would stick with their goals but on the other, I’m much happier to have more space to move. 🙂

SAME. I love the enthusiasm but….no. Thanks for pinning 🙂
These look great, thanks for sharing! I love that there are so few ingredients, which means they’ll be super easy to make. What did you sprinkle on top?
Bre @bumpandrunchat recently posted…date night: valentine’s day
Salt! And the fewer the ingredients the better, right? 🙂
Delicious and healthy – I would totally eat these for breakfast. Or as a midnight snack. I want.

Cailee recently posted…Monday’s Motivation- Cookies!
Yum these sound amazing-totally making this week!
Lauren recently posted…ClassPass is here, Baltimore!
This sounds like a tasty lunch to me! Definitely going to be making these sometime soon. What kind of AB did you use – salted or unsalted? Can’t wait to sink my teeth into them!
Marisa @ Uproot from Oregon recently posted…Crockpot Tomato & Vegetable Quinoa Risotto
Unsalted and then sprinkled a little salt on top 😉
Simple and delicious! I love making flourless almond butter cookies. Those melty chocolate chunks are just… so perfect.
What kind of chips do you normally use?
Georgie recently posted…Whole 30 Week: Embrace the Process
I buy Enjoy Life in bulk when they’re on sale, but otherwise I just use regular semi-sweet chips.
This weekend was pretty low key for me. Lots of grocery shopping and recipe testing. And I totally know what you mean about interesting meals when recipe testing. This morning I had oatmeal scraps for breakfast i.e. all the oatmeal/chocolate chips/almonds/shredded coconut I sprinkled around while taking pictures last weekend. I hate to waste it so I throw it in a ziplock and eat it for breakfast. #bloggerproblems

YES–talk about good use of your resources! #bloggerproblems are real for sure.
Ohhh these look amazing! I didn’t watch the Grammy’s, but I can certainly relate to having strange lunches when I’m testing out a new recipe haha. But you know what? No complaining here about cookies for lunch 😉 . These look amazing! Pinned!

Ahh yum! After my cookie binge last week I’m trying to lay off the sweets for a little bit. The weather this weekend was so perfect, so I spent every minute I could outside or with the windows open.
Kelly @ Kelly Runs For Food recently posted…I’m a yoga model now
Boom! I’m so making these – do you think they’d work with peanut butter?
Jen @ Bagels to Broccoli recently posted…Exercise: How Much (And What Type) Do We Really Need?
Hmmm possibly… I believe peanut butter is a bit creamier than almond butter, so the dough may be too soft. Worth a shot though!
Mmm Chocolate Chip cookies. Delicious. Wasn’t the weather just beautiful this weekend?! I was loving it! Such a tease for spring. If only it was staying this week…
Heather @Fit n Cookies recently posted…An Ice Cream Sundae Baby Shower kind of weekend + Susie In Town!
UGH it was too beautiful! You took the words out of my mouth, but yes–such a tease!
And Steve and Miguel strike again! Steves weakness is chocolate chip cookies (by the way i literally told him you said he was crazy hahaha, he said thanks). These sound wonderful, and look great too! Thanks for sharing, pinning 🙂
