Description
These Flourless Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies are chewy, nutty, and loaded with melty chocolate. Naturally gluten-free, they come together in under 20 minutes and pair perfectly with coffee, tea, or a tall glass of milk.
Ingredients
1 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
2/3 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Pinch of salt (if nut butter is unsalted)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together almond butter, coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Add baking soda, pecans, chocolate chips, and salt. Stir until just combined.
4. Use a tablespoon to scoop dough onto the baking sheet, leaving space between cookies.
5. Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
6. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, toast the pecans before adding to the dough.
These cookies will firm up as they cool — don’t overbake.
Make them vegan by replacing the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water).
