Almond Cookies
adapted from Gutsy.com
- 1 cup almond meal or 3/4 cup almond meal plus 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbsp coconut oil or butter
- 2 tbsp honey or 1 tbsp blackstrap molasses
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
*Makes 7 large cookies.
Mix dry ingredients together (minus spice). Mix wet ingredients together. Pour dry into wet and mash together with a spatula. Make balls about the size of a ping-pong ball and smash down flat (you can use the bottom of a jar for ease) on parchment lined cookie sheet. Sprinklie with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.
Bake at 300 for 6-10 minutes and allow to cool once out of the oven. I had mine at 350 and after 6 minutes the bottoms were starting to get burned, so I would suggest a lower temp and checking them after 6 minutes.

I’m wondering what I could substitute for the flax? Any ideas or suggestions? I can’t have flax in my diet. Could I just sub almond flour? These look delicious and I can’t wait to try them out. Thanks for the recipe!
Yes, just add more almond flour. The original recipe calls for just almond flour. I added flax because I like it!
I LOVE it! cookies for breakfast…you live in my kind of world!
Thanks for the great recipe!! I altered it slightly to fit our needs.
These look like the healthiest version of breakfast cookies I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing at Must Try Monday.
This look so healthy and so yummy! I will be making them this weekend! Thanks for sharing on This Chick Cooks!

Thanks for stopping by!
Yum! We love cookies for breakfast too, sometimes!
Mmmm, cookies for breakfast! No wonder they’re getting a thumbs-up!
I hopped over from Your Green Resource. Can I make almond meal by grinding almonds? These look delicious, and the recipe is simpler than another breakfast cookie I was planning to try this week.
YES! I recommend soaking them overnight, drying them, and then tossing them in a food processor. Wa-lah! Almond meal.
yum! i have to stop cruising food posts before lunch…
These look so good! I love the idea of cookies for breakfast
Do you think bob’s red mill almond flour would work? I know some recipes call for a finer ground brand.
Bob’s is perfect! That is what I used on this day to make them.
Thank you for this recipe!! I will definitely be giving it a go – it’s just the kind of thing I would make myself. I love almond meal/flour and coconut oil, so this is a winner
Stopping by from Fit and Fabulous.
Katie, you are a Fit Feature this week with the most popular recipe at Amee’s Savory Dish!! Congrats!
Thanks!!
The look and sound delish. Can’t wait to make them. Thank you!
Thanks for stopping by!
Prep it, Bake it, and ate it. Tasted okay but don’t think I will make again. Concerned about eating all that saturated fat that comes from the coconut oil – 12grams for 1tablespoon.
There is a lot of misinformation about saturated fat out there. It is actually needed by the body from good sources like coconut oil. Here is a great article about the benefits of saturated fat in coconut oil. http://coconutoil.com/litalee/
I do not see flax in the recipe above. Can you send me the recipe that includes flax?
I apologize. I was mid-edit and it published without the updates. I included two variations, one with flax, one without.
