Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 90 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 grams Almond butter (smooth or chunky)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 130 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- Optional: Almond slices or additional sugar for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the almond butter and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms.
Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, portion the dough into small 1-inch balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Flatten each ball slightly using the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern, or press an almond slice into the center for decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake as they will continue to firm up while cooling.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or enjoy freshly baked with your favorite beverage.
