These Almond Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are made without white flour and require only 8 ingredients! They're so easy and kid-friendly. They're healthy enough to serve as an after school snack but they taste indulgent so you'll love them over the holiday season too!
Add all ingredients except for the chocolate chips to a large bowl. Stir until combined.
Carefully stir in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips (set aside the rest of the chocolate chips). The dough will be sticky at this point because we use a lot of nut butter. You can place the bowl in the refrigerator for 15 minutes if you want it to be a little easier to work with but its not necessary.
Spoon dough, evenly spaced and not touching, onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. (Or use a silicone baking mat on the baking sheet if you prefer.) Gently press down on each cookie. You don't want them completely flat but we also don't want them to be dome shaped because they don't spread much.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. (11 to 12 minutes is ideal for my oven. Keep in mind they'll firm up a bit more after baking.)
As soon as your cookies come out of the oven, gently press 3 or 4 chocolate chips into the top of each. (This is how we're using the 1/4 cup we set aside earlier.) Add a sprinkle of flaky salt. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes so they can continue to firm up.
Use a spatula to carefully place cookies on a wire rack to cool.
