Almond Butter Cookies

Total Time Prep/Total Time: 20 min.
Yield 1-1/2 dozen
If you’re an almond butter lover, you probably already swap in this ingredient for peanut butter in your favorite recipes. But have you tried cookies yet? Almond butter cookies are almost identical to peanut butter ones, with the nut butter swap, brown sugar for granulated and a slip of vanilla extract for flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add egg and vanilla until well mixed. Place tablespoonfuls of dough 1-in. apart on a greased 15x10x1-in. baking sheet. Lightly press down with the back of a fork. Bake 10-12 minutes or until set.

These four-ingredient almond butter cookies come together very quickly, and are a nice change from the more traditional peanut butter cookies. They could be made with any kind of nut butter you like. —Heather Chambers, Largo, Florida
