Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar or xylitol
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups gluten-free oats or old fashioned
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips I use Enjoy Life brand.
  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Cream together the coconut oil, almond butter, granulated sugar (or xylitol) and brown sugar until well blended. Add vanilla extract and eggs. Keep beating until everything is combined.
  • In another bowl, mix together the oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to wet ingredients along with chocolate chips. Mix until just combined. Don't overmix.
  • Roll small balls of dough and place three inches apart on sheet tray. Do not flatten dough balls. Bake for 10-12 minutes until puffy. Let cool for 5 minutes on sheet tray before transferring to cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

The almond butter combined with coconut oil makes these creamy and dreamy. It's a great substitute for butter, making these cookies dairy free.
