Cuisine: American
Serves: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 egg to the mixture and continue to beat until it is fully incorporated. The batter should be thick and well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir this mixture into the almond butter mixture until everything is evenly combined.
- Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look a bit soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delightful almond butter cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure your egg and almond butter are at room temperature for the smoothest, most consistent dough.
- Don't Overmix: Blend ingredients just until combined to keep the cookies tender and light.
- Uniform Sizing: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to create evenly sized cookies that bake uniformly.
- Watch the Edges: The golden-brown edges are your key indicator of perfectly baked cookies.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- Storage Hack: Store in an airtight container to maintain their soft, chewy texture for up to 5 days.
- Customize: Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top or mixing in chocolate chips for extra indulgence!
