Hi there! If you’re looking for a super quick and healthy treat, you’re going to love these 3 ingredients almond cookies. They’re soft, sweet, and just the right amount of chewy. Plus, they’re made with ingredients you might already have at home just almonds, honey, and almond butter! That’s it. No flour, no eggs, no fuss. This recipe is one of my favorites when I want something homemade but simple. Best of all? These cookies melt in your mouth and taste like you spent way more time on them than you actually did.
Method
Mix It All Together
First, grab a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add your three simple ingredients: ground almonds, honey, and almond butter. At this point, everything might look a bit sticky or thick, but don’t worry. Use a spoon or spatula and begin stirring until the ingredients are fully combined. You want the mixture to become smooth and consistent, without any dry spots or lumps. If it feels too stiff or dry, your almond butter might be on the thick side. In that case, keep mixing patiently or add a tiny spoonful of extra honey to loosen it up just a bit.
Shape the Cookies
Once the mixture is smooth and well blended, it’s time to shape the cookies. Use a tablespoon to scoop out the dough this helps keep each cookie around the same size so they bake evenly. Roll the scooped dough between your palms to make a round ball. The texture will be soft and a little sticky, but that’s exactly what you want for chewy cookies.
Press and Prepare
Next, place each cookie ball onto a baking tray that’s been lined with baking paper. This will keep them from sticking and make cleanup super easy. Once the balls are on the tray, take a fork and gently press down on the top of each one. This not only flattens them into a nice cookie shape, but also gives them those classic crisscross lines. Be gentle during this step you want to press just enough to shape them, not squish them too flat.
Bake and Wait
Preheat your oven to 180°C (or about 350°F). Once it’s ready, place the tray of cookies inside and bake them for exactly 7 minutes. These cookies bake fast, and because they’re made without flour, they don’t need a long time in the oven. Keep an eye on them the edges should just start to turn golden, but the tops will still look soft when they’re done.
Cool Down Completely
Here’s the step that takes a little patience but makes all the difference: let the cookies cool down completely before trying to move or eat them. Right out of the oven, they’re very delicate and can break easily. But if you give them time to rest on the tray, they’ll firm up beautifully. After about 20–30 minutes, they’ll have the perfect chewy texture and be ready to enjoy.

Notes
