Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 24 pieces chocolate kisses (unwrapped)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
Roll each ball in the additional granulated sugar to coat evenly.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cookies look set and slightly cracked on top.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The edges of the cookie may crack slightly—that's okay!
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Almond Butter Blossoms!
