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
• 0 Optional: Almond slices or additional sugar for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the almond butter and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or enjoy freshly baked with your favorite beverage.
