Almond Butter Cookies
November 10, 2016
These cookies are so yummy & you can customize them in many ways. Don't limit yourself to just almond butter... you can also use an equal amount of either cashew butter, peanut butter (either smooth or crunchy) or any type of nut/seed butter you like. Make a double or triple batch & freeze them, so you'll always have some on hand for a cookie craving!
Yield: 2 dozen cookies
Directions
1 Ingredients.
2 Preheat oven to 350°.
3 Add butter & almond butter to a 4 quart bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer till creamy. Gradually beat in both sugars, then egg & vanilla till smooth.
4 In a separate 1 quart bowl; mix flour, salt & baking soda.
5 Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients & stir till well combined.
6 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (see Tip# 1). Drop batter by rounded cookie scoops (or use a Tblsp) onto baking sheet 2" apart.
7 Bake on lower middle oven rack 10 to 13 minutes. They're done when barely browning on edges.
8 Cool 5 minutes & transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the frig or freeze for longer storage.
Tips & Suggestions
1 If you don't have any parchment paper on hand, you can grease the baking sheet with a little extra softened butter.

They look amazing, I’ve not seen almond butter in the shops here but I will have another look when I am shopping next! Thank you for linking up to our Foodie Friday linky 🙂
Thanks Paula! And thank you for doing the Linky every Friday.
Thanks Silvia! And almonds are so healthy 🙂
Sounds so yummy! I love almond flavor and Italians use almond paste a lot in their sweets! Thanks for sharing
Hi Simone, These cookies feels yum. Can you please tell me what can be added instead of egg? Thanks
Hi Gursimrat, I’ve always been told when it comes to bakery goods, you really need to follow the ingredients as is. However… these days there are a lot of “substitute” products on the market, there may even be an egg substitute. Ask at your local grocery store… and there’s always Google!
