Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup smooth almond butter
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup granulated sugar, for rolling
1/2 cup apricot jam

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat almond butter and butter on medium until smooth. Add brown sugar and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture and beat just until combined (dough will be slightly crumbly).
  • Place granulated sugar in a small bowl. Roll level tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and gently roll in sugar to coat. Place on two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets, 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are puffed, 8 minutes. Remove sheets from oven and, with the bottom of a round 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon, make an indentation in center of each cookie. Bake until set, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cookies cool on wire racks, 20 minutes. Stir jam and spoon 1/2 teaspoon into each indentation.

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
