1 large egg 1 tsp stevia 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp vanilla 1 cup almond butter 1 tsp water 1/3 cup chopped almonds (optional)
Preheat oven to 350.
In a mixing bowl beat the egg, stevia, baking powder and vanilla for about a minute. Add almond butter and water and beat together. Measure out a heaping teaspoon of batter and roll it in the chopped almonds.
Place cookies on a lightly oiled cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes or slightly longer until cookies are firm are are slightly browned.
I just made these today but have not tried them yet...they look pretty though and I think they'll be good.
You can also use hazelnut butter as well.
TLC: As long as your digestion is strong and you don't eat nuts so often or have an intolerance to them, this should make an amazing treat once in a while. Keep in mind that almond butter is ground almonds and non sprouted, pasteurized almonds (the most commonly available) have a digestion inhibiting coating on them so they can be challenging for compromised digestion.

uh oH! THese might be trouble!!! i just made them with hazelnut butter and some chopped hazelnuts to top. Didn't yield too many cookies... I added a little hemp milk and salt. Substituted ginger for the vanilla as I still don't have any alcohol free! Gotta get on that. I might add a bit more stevia next time.....thanks!!! such a great snack!

Yumm ! These are really good ! I am going to eat them for breakfast this week ! Twenty minutes tops to prepare and cook and they are awesome ! So great !
These are a personal favorite of mine. I have trouble eating just a few of them. I have to freeze them to limit myself so I don't eat like 10 at a time.

I love this recipe because it's simple and quick. I like it a little sweeter so the second time I made them I doubled all of the ingredients. I'm not sure if it was the two eggs or the baking soda instead of baking powder (I'm a cookie newbie) but they came out more like muffin tops instead of cookies which was quite tasty. I also added yacon syrup and toffee flavored stevia.
Try iherb for that stevia. I have a $5 off coupon code if you decide you want to order and it's your first order- just reply to the post and I'll post it for you. They also have free shipping on $60 plus orders and some freebies when you order.

The stevia I got is from Sweet Leaf. I bought it from Mother's Market but they also sell them @ Whole Foods but they're almost $5 more than the iherb site.
