Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup vegan butter, melted and cooled ((sub for regular butter))
2/3 cup coconut sugar ((or brown sugar))
1/2 cup creamy almond butter ((sub for peanut butter))
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg ((room temperature))
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips ((or semi-sweet))

Steps:

  • First, preheat oven to 350F.
  • Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together melted butter, almond butter, coconut sugar, cinnamon, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Add dry ingredients: Then fold in almond flour, baking soda, and chocolate chips with wet ingredients.
  • Scoop dough balls: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a mini cookie scoop or tablespoon to measure dough and form with hands 1 1/2-inch dough balls. Arrange on baking sheet 3 inches apart. Tip: if cookie dough is more firm you can use the palm of your hand to lightly press dough balls down to help them spread. If the dough is very soft, they will naturally spread on their own. This will depend on the type of almond butter you use.
  • Bake: Bake cookies for 9 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for several minutes before enjoying.

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.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Use room temperature butter: Room temperature butter will cream together with the sugar more easily, resulting in a smoother and more consistent batter.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Measure the flour correctly: The best way to measure flour is to use a kitchen scale. If you don't have a kitchen scale, be sure to spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown: The cookies will continue to bake on the baking sheet as they cool, so it's important to not overbake them.

Conclusion:

These almond butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture and nutty flavor, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try!
