A special treat for my great and amazing nephews that can only eat gluten-free. Since they love chocolate and almond butter like their Zia (that would be me 🙂 I decided to combine these delectable ingredients and create Almond Butter Chocolate Cookies. They absolutely loved them and, of course, we made a second batch and as they say, “they are so yummy!”
We are ‘Bringing Happiness Back To The Table,” so, from our family to yours…. Enjoy everyone!

Transfer wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well using a fork and then a rubber spatula. Add chocolate and mix until well combined.
Scoop out dough using a tablespoon scooper or a simple tablespoon and place them on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Gently press the dough balls down with a fork or your fingers.
