These Cookies!! They are the best cookies I’ve made and had in forever. These flourless butter chocolate chip oatmeal cookies just kicked my nutella-stuffed salted chocolate chip cookies out of the running for favorite cookies around the block. Please don’t be fooled by their healthier sound or let’s face it their not so photogenic state. They are the perfect combination of soft and chewy! (Totally just heard Steve Carell in my head … perfect combination of sexy and cute)
OK what makes these cookies so good? I want to say it’s the coconut almond butter I used or the chewy coconut flakes or the melty dark chocolate chips? To honest, I can’t pin point what it is but seriously who cares? Everything makes them very good!!
Let’s talk about this Coconut Almond Butter. It’s seriously addicting. I came across it in the natural foods section at my local grocery store and just had to try it. My smoothies and toasts have never tasted better. If you would like to try it, grab it here.
You can use any almond butter you have to make these (and yes you can use peanut butter too… Mr J insisted I added that last bit. These are bound to be your new favorite cookies. I promise, you will have trouble saying no to the 3rd cookie.

For my son’s diet, I can use only a liquid sweetener (maple syrup or honey). Do you have any ideas of how I might adjust this cookie recipe to work for him? Wondering if I should increase the oats.
Hi Sarah, I wouldn’t adjust the recipe much, perhaps add about 1/3 cup more oats. The texture would be different but worth a try.
