Name: Flourless Almond Butter and Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Yield: Makes about 20 cookie sandwiches
Ingredients: For the Cookies:; 2 1/2 cups almond butter, room temperature (you can use jarred or homemade); 3/4 cup coconut sugar; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 2 large eggs; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate (I used Equal Exchange bittersweet chocolate bars); 8 tablespoons unsalted butter

We’ve started the Christmas season! For most of us, that means getting into the kitchen and baking cookies. While sugar should be enjoyed in strict moderation, I do like to offer healthier alternatives to traditional favorites. It’s also fun to show up at a party, serve grain-free cookies, let your friends rave and only then reveal they’re grain-free. I kinda get a kick out of this. 🙂

Almond butter and chocolate sandwiches are fun flourless Christmas cookies you can make with kids that are great for a cookie exchange or party. The cookies also work great served alone as a fun treat.

While you’re getting your supplies for holiday baking, make sure to check out Thrive Market. I get most of my baking essentials from Thrive Market including: honey, coconut flour, tapioca flour, arrowroot, coconut cream, coconut sugar, maple sugar, chocolate, etc. They’re the most economical way I’ve found to get the essentials – and they ship right to my door.

For a limited time, Thrive is offering Deliciously Organic readers a free jar of Really Raw honey! This honey is the real deal – unheated and full of honeycomb and pollen. It’s one of my most favorite honeys to use for baking because of its light flavor.
