Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine almond butter, organic sugar, egg, honey, and almond extract in a medium mixing bowl until smooth, then add almond flour and mix until fully incorporated into the dough (which will be a bit dry). Roll spoonfuls of the dough into balls and roll the dough balls in a small dish containing the second ¼ c portion of the organic sugar granules.
Place the sugared dough balls onto the baking sheet leaving two inches spacing between the dough balls, as well as the sides of the baking sheet. Using the tines of a fork, press the dough balls down and make a crossed pattern on the top of the cookies.
Place into the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and no longer wet in appearance. Allow to set on the pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
Notes
Make sure you choose a high-quality almond butter that has a smooth and creamy consistency. If you keep your almond butter stored in the refrigerator, let it sit out for about an hour before using it.
These cookies don't spread very much in the oven, which is why it is important to flatten them and use the fork tines to make a criss-cross indention (for even baking).
While these are almond butter cookies, you could easily swap out the almond butter for a different nut butter (or non-nut butter) of your choice. Try them with cashew butter, sunflower butter, or cookie butter!
