CRISPY ALMOND BUTTER THINS (COOKIES)



Crispy Almond Butter Thins (Cookies) image

Crispy, buttery and so delicious! -- plan ahead the dough needs to chill for a minimum of 3 hours or up to 3 days --- the success of this cookie will depend on the quality of butter that you use so purchase the best! Since the dough is very thick I suggest to use a stand mixer for mixing --- for *CHRISTMAS* coat in coloured sugar, also haven't tried it as yet but I plan on adding in some finely chopped candied maraschino cherries or dried fruit to the cookie batter for Christmas, so you might want to give that a try! --- servings is only estimated.

Time 3h15m

Yield 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups butter, room temperature (1-pound butter, no substitutes please!)
2 cups white sugar (for a sweeter cookie increase sugar slightly)
2 -3 teaspoons almond extract
2 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
sugar, for coating (optional)

Steps:

  • Using a heavy duty stand mixer cream butter with sugar and almond extract on medium speed until well combined (about 5 minutes or until no sugar granules should remain).
  • Beat in egg yolks until combined.
  • In a small bowl combine the flour with salt until combined; add to the creamed mixture and mix on low speed until combined.
  • Remove to a surface and work the dough using with clean hands until smooth.
  • Divide the dough evenly in half.
  • Shape into two logs, wrap in waxed paper or plastic wrap and chill for minimum 3 hours or until very hard.
  • Set oven to 350°F.
  • Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
  • Unwrap the dough log then slice into about 1/4-inch slices (the thinner that you slice these the crispier they will be when they bake).
  • Place onto lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Bake until lightly browned around the edges (about 12-15 minutes, the cookies will not be crispy if you under bake them).
  • Cool slightly on baking sheet (the cookies will harden even more upon sitting) then coat in sugar.

Easy to make almond-butter cookies, frosting optional. The flavor is delicate and very yummy. I am a novice in the kitchen and made these one night in about 30 min on a whim.

ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES WITH CREAM CHEESE



Almond Butter Cookies with Cream Cheese image

I have had this recipe for so long that I can't remember where it came from, but I think I got it out of a magazine or newspaper. I like it because you can use the dough in so many different ways. For the Holidays, you can press half of a candied cherry in the center of unbaked cookie, and then after baking drizzle with either white or dark chocolate, melted.

ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES (GLUTEN FREE)



Almond Butter Cookies (Gluten Free) image

This recipe can be made with any kind of nut butter. It's not very sweet - peanut butter cookies usually are made with 1 cup pb and 1 cup sugar, so this is only half the amount of sugar. You can add raisins, chocolate chips, craisins, nuts.... whatever floats your boat! For the gluten free flour you can use 1 cup of any gf flour mix. Usually I use rice flour and tapioca starch.

ALMOND BUTTER RAISIN COOKIES (VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE)



Almond Butter Raisin Cookies (Vegan, Gluten-Free) image

Soft healthful gluten-free cookies made with simple ingredients, with a heavy richness from roasted almond butter, lots of raisins and a bit of maple syrup. They are my staple break-time snack for work and freeze very well. Each cookie comes out to about 125 calories each.

Provided by Ravenhood

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 12 cookies, 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup raisins (dark, sultana)
1/4 cup oat flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup almond butter (roasted)
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Steps:

  • Soak raisins in warm water for 5 minutes, then discard soaking water.
  • Stir dry ingredients together. In another bowl, mix wet ingredients together. Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients until well combined (for a better and smoother result, use an electric mixer and stir in the rolled oats and raisins by hand after you`re done).
  • Grease a cookie sheet and spoon drop about 2 tbsp worth of cookie dough for each cookie.
  • Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before transfering to rack to cool another 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter: This will help the cookies spread better and give them a more tender texture.
  • Don't over mix the dough: Over mixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you get evenly sized cookies. It will also prevent you from over handling the dough.
  • Bake the cookies on a parchment paper lined baking sheet: This will help prevent the cookies from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help the cookies keep their shape and texture.

Conclusion:

Butter almond cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a batch of these cookies ready to enjoy in no time. Whether you're looking for a sweet snack or a special treat for a party, these cookies are sure to please everyone. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give these butter almond cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
