    Almond Butter Cookies Recipe

    I first made these for a classroom birthday party at my daughter's elementary school. One of Lauren's best friends had peanut allergies, so a cookie that could be enjoyed by all was needed!

    To my surprise, this almond butter version of the classic peanut butter cookie was the star of the party! There were none left to bring home. The entire class of kids and all of the staff absolutely loved them!

    Now, they are a regular rotation in our cookie baking days. My deliciously chewy almond butter cookies are also part of my holiday baking and sent out in packages every year!!

    How To Make Almond Butter Cookies

    Preheat your oven to 350ºF ( 175ºC ) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    To get started with a one bowl method of making these chewy almond butter cookies, combine one cup of creamy or chunky almond butter, one cup sugar, one large egg, three tablespoons of honey, and one teaspoon of almond extract in a medium bowl and mix them until smooth.

    Add two tablespoons of almond flour and mix just enough to incorporate it into the wet ingredients. Spoon out the dough with a tablespoon and roll into roughly 1 ¼ to 1 /1/2 inch balls, then roll through the second ¼ cup portion of sugar in a small dish or plate ( optional ).

    Arrange the sugar coated cookie dough balls onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving about two inches of spacing between the dough balls as well as the sides of the baking sheet.

    Use a fork and press the tines down on the top of the cookies to make the crossed pattern. Make the crossed tine marks by pressing down in one direction, then rotating 90 degrees and pressing down in the next direction. *You can also use the bottom of a cup, a cookie stamp, or something that will leave an interesting pattern.

    Press firmly enough that the cookie is flattened almost to the point of the shape you expect once fully baked.

    Bake your almond butter cookies at 350ºF ( 175ºC ) for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and no longer have a wet appearance.

    These cookies will be soft when they are removed from the oven, so allow them to set on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

    Serve once fully cooled. Enjoy!
