Almond Joyful Cookies — Almond Butter, Toasted Coconut, and Chocolate Chips
These almond butter cookies are packed with toasted coconut and chocolate chips for the perfect melty crunch!
Ingredients
- 2 cups large coconut flakes
- 14 large dates, pitted
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 cup almond butter
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons cream
- 1 egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the coconut out on a baking sheet and toast it for about 7 minutes or until golden brown. Set it aside to cool.
- In your food processor combine the dates, flour, salt, and baking soda, then process until the mixture is sandy. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the coconut sugar, almond butter, butter, and cream. Scrape down the sides of the bowl several times during beating. When the batter is light in color and smooth, add the egg and continue to beat until the egg is well incorporated.
- Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir gently until fully incorporated.
- Add the chocolate chips and cooled coconut, then stir again just until evenly mixed.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a 2-ounce scoop or a large spoon and your hands to make semi-round balls of cookie dough and place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Use a fork to gently press them down.
- Bake at 350°F for 12 to 14 minutes.
- Cool cookies for several minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
