Oh how I love to bake around the holidays. It’s a fun excuse to bake something without guilt, am I right? ;) I used to always bake for my dad specifically but he’s moved to another state so I really don’t bake as much anymore. SAD, right?
I decided to try out a recipe I came across and it turned out SO good!!!!!!! My mom and hubby thought it had chocolate in it, but my friends, it does not. It’s just that good.
Then I went ahead and whipped up a different type of cookie that I shared recently: Almost Paleo Peppermint & Chocolate Chip Cookies and packaged some up and mailed them to my parents in Tennessee. I’ve always thought about doing that since they moved in 2016 but typically talk myself out of it because cost of shipping + shipping time = it’s usually just better to wait until I visit to bake. But, this year being the year of never ending quarantining I decided it’s worth it. So off they went in the mail the day I baked them. =)
Now on to the recipe!
Shopping List
- 1 cup raw almond butter
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 and 1/2 tbsp cinnamon; divided
- 2/3 cup monk fruit sweetener; divided
In a medium (or large) mixing bowl, mix together the almond butter, 1/2 cup monk fruit sweetener, 1 tbsp. cinnamon, baking soda, and egg. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350* F
In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 tbsp cinnamon and remaining monk fruit sweetener.
Remove cookie dough from fridge and using a small cookie scoop form 12 small balls of dough. Roll each one in the cinnamon and sugar mixture as you do this and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Flatten out the cookies into a circular shape and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon and sugar over the cookies.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until done.
Note* The cookies will harden as they cool, but mine still needed to bake for 13 minutes because my almond butter was a runnier kind.
They spread out as they bake so make sure you provide room. I fit all onto one baking sheet but they did end up touching some.
They turned out just crisp enough after they cooled, but still soft throughout. I was worried they may be too soft. I’d say they were a bit delicate so I’m glad I left mine in a little longer.
The hubs gave rave reviews so I think they’re a major WIN in our house!
Healthy, low carb, zero sugar. That, my friends, is a win.
PS - As soon as I saw my hand in this picture I lotioned up!!! Gosh 2020 has taken a toll on my hands with all of the washing…

I shared this DELICIOUS recipe for Paleo Coconut Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies years ago. If you are eating Paleo or know someone who is, these are for you. Little hint*** non-Paleo eaters LOVE them and you will not have any left! That was my experience…
