Chewy, naturally sweet almond butter cookies dipped in dark chocolate and sprinkled with toasted almonds and sea salt. An easy, satisfying treat!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1 cup of pitted dates
  • ¼ cup of almond meal (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract (sub with vanilla otherwise)
  • 1 egg
  • 10 oz melted dark chocolate
  • Toasted chopped almonds to garnish with and some sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  3. Add the almond butter, pitted dates, vanilla extract, and almond extract to a food processor.
  4. Pulse the mixture until it is well combined and no large chunks of dates remain.
  5. Add the egg and almond meal (if using) to the food processor.
  6. Pulse again until all ingredients are just combined.
  7. Roll the dough into uniform balls (about 1-inch in size).
  8. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Gently press down on each dough ball with a fork to flatten it and create a crosshatch pattern.
  10. Bake for 9-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and set.
  11. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place it on a cooling rack.
  12. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
  13. Once cool, transfer the cookies to the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  14. While the cookies are chilling, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until completely smooth.
  15. Toast your chopped almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned.
  16. Drizzle or dip each frozen cookie into the melted chocolate.
  17. Immediately sprinkle the chocolate-dipped cookies with toasted chopped almonds and a pinch of sea salt.
  18. Allow the chocolate to fully set in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or eat them immediately if you can't wait.
  19. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container.

Notes

Using natural almond butter provides the best texture and flavor.
Chilling the cookies in the freezer before dipping makes them easier to handle and prevents the chocolate from melting them.
Always melt chocolate in short bursts to prevent it from burning or seizing.
For a different flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the cookie dough.
