These are gluten free but not paleo due to the sugar, but they are even better and absolutely paleo if you use date or coconut sugar. I was making these originally to copy a vendor’s cookies using fresh almonds as opposed to flours. Anyhow, here’s the final recipe for my paleo oatmeal “no oatmeal” cookies. They are delicious; just substitute the sugars for a healthier version if you wish.
I can’t do oatmeal, which is such a shame because I really love oatmeal cookies. But now I can enjoy the taste of authentic oatmeal cookies with ground almonds (one of the many amazing secrets of paleo baking that I’ve learned!). I love to dip these (right after they come out of the oven) into almond milk or a cup of coffee with coconut cream. Each soggy bite is so scrumptious—sigh… what pleasure moments! I think I’m going to have to make some of these right now…

Paleo Oatmeal “No Oatmeal” Cookies
Description
One of my old time favorite cookie recipes recreated paleo-style!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces almonds (ground up by pulsing on “pulse” setting until a lot coarser than almond meal)
- 2 jumbo eggs
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1 1/3 cups sugar, ground fine (or coconut or date sugar)
- 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons almond flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- Line a cookie pan with parchment paper.
- Mix all ingredients.
- Shape and press the dough with your hands into fairly flat 4” – 5” cookies, a third to a quarter inch thick (fairly thin).
- Keep 2 inches apart from one another (they will spread on the pan once heated).
- When you put them in the oven, lower the temperature to 275F degrees.
- Stay by then oven and watch for 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
- Enjoy!
Notes
The longer they cook, the more crispy “oatmeal flavor” cookie you will get.
