  4. Made these last night! They were so good! Definitely making these again!! Even the batter tasted like cookie dough

  5. Excellent! Even some non paleo friends liked them. I used regular Ghiardelli dark chocolate chips and they made all the difference.

    Would these work if you leave the coconut out, or does it serve some function? I’m just not a fan of shredded coconut. :-/

    You could try, but I would likely add more almond flour then, so the consistency is still right. Would hate for the cookies to turn into a big, flat mess.

  8. These are a new favorite!

  9. These were quite tasty, but they didn’t flatten out like the ones in the picture. The dough is so sticky I couldn’t flatten it before baking. They came out like little rounded mounds, but yummy nonetheless. The combination of almond butter, choco chips and coconut = an “Almond Joy Cookie”!

  11. Loooove these!!! Soooo yummy!

  12. I consider myself a little bit of a chocolate chip snob. Lol. I love a moist, chewy cookie in the middle, with plenty of chips and a crisp edge. When I break a great cookie in half with my hands it needs to yield a little because of the edges and then bend a little then break and have chocolate ooze out. I’m so in the mood for a great cookie and this recipe does all that I mentioned above.

    They don’t spread all that much which is great and they don,t look at brown but 11 minutes is perfect for a batch of 20-24 cookies. I used finely shredded coconut from tropical traditions and for chips I use 1/4 cup toll house mini chips and then 1/2 cup ghiradelli 60%dark chips. These never make it a second day!

    One note. These cookies are not overly sweet or coconut tasting, they is why I really enjoy this recipe. Especially when you crave an original chocolate chip cookie.

  13. In one of your comments you mention using more almond flour, but there is no almond flour in the ingredient list. Should there be?

    Dawn, on November 20th, 2012

  14. These are so good! They came out perfectly. I will be making them again.

    Mindy, on December 31st, 2012

  15. These are so wonderful – I used half white/ dark chocolate

  16. Would love to try these but a full cup of almond butter? That’s a lot and almond butter is so pricey.

  17. Hi, I’m trying these cookies for the first time, (Almond Butter Dark Choc. Chip), and I’m just making sure there is no almond flour in the recipe. It calls for a cup of almond butter…so I just want to make sure that’s right. From all the great comments it must be tho!

  20. so yummy! We chopped the coconut a little bit finer, because my family is not a big fan of coconut. It added great texture and I will be making them again soon!

    Caroline, on February 17th, 2013

  21. ok.. so making these (AGAIN!) and I messed up! Instead of using almond butter, I used almond flour, and instead of vanilla I used almond extract. put it in a cake pan..

    Reg. the cookies- no almond butter, so Im using cashew butter, and almond extract.. will post update :)

    chefcammi, on March 31st, 2013

  22. These are the best!! Have made them a handful of times and they are just great :-) pity the mix doesn’t come off the spoon any easier though anyone got any tips?

    ange_giles, on April 2nd, 2013

  23. Delish! I replaced the coconut with ground hazelnuts as well as added some dried cranberries (apple juice sweetened). So moist and chewy! These are not going to last long!

    Kristina, on April 7th, 2013

  24. It was so yummy.. I was shocked! :) ..and I will continue to make them :) !
