Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are not only healthy, but they are made with simple ingredients, crispy and delicious too. They are so versatile and can be prepared so many different ways.

These cookies are made with all natural ingredients, but taste delicious at the same time.  My kids could not get enough of these!  

And the funny thing is they claim that they don't even like almond butter.

Sometimes it's just easier not to argue about stuff and let them think that they don't like almond butter, even though clearly they do.

Did you ever have that with your kids? They adamantly say they don't like something when they have been eating it for years.

It actually makes me laugh but I am not saying a word.

These are one of my favorite treats when I want something sweet but want to still eat healthy and clean. Which is exactly why I keep them in my house at all times.

I usually make a double batch and freeze half of them for an easy, convenient treat. And sometimes we just eat them straight out of the freezer.

I made these for a friend whose family is dairy free due to dairy intolerance.    Those who suffer from this experience gas, bloating, pain and cramps in the lower stomach and maybe even vomiting.  

Adapting to a dairy free lifestyle may require some extra work, but can be quite manageable once you change your eating habits.  I wanted to show them that you can still eat healthy (and dairy free) and still eat yummy treats!!

These are also naturally gluten free as well and can be made with any nut butter or even seed butter if you would like. Go ahead and make my Cinnamon Vanilla Pecan Butter or Sunflower Seed Butter or my homemade Coconut Almond Butter and make these cookies with them. 

You can use chocolate chips if you'd like but they taste just as delicious. I will say though, I do love the texture of the added chocolate chips.
