Steps:
- 1. Pre heat oven to 340°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 2. Add all three ingredients into a large bowl and beat using a hand held electric beater for about 30 seconds or until mixed well. 3. Roll about 1 tablespoon measure dough into balls and arrange on a baking sheet. 4. Press the flat side of a fork onto the top of each cookie dough (flattening them slightly while doing so). Rotate the fork 90 degrees and press again. Have a bowl of water and dip fork every time (draining off most of the water) before pressing on the dough (This helps for the dough not to stick to the fork). Alternatively, you can dip the fork in white sugar instead of water. 4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 23 minutes or until deep golden in color. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before moving to a cooling rack for a few more minutes. (The cookies will be very soft and might break when they are hot, but will crisp and firm up as they cool).

Tips for Making Perfect Almond Butter Cookies
- Use room-temperature ingredients: This will help the cookies come together more easily and evenly.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and texture.
Conclusion
Almond butter cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or dessert. They are easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and toppings. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect almond butter cookies every time. Remember to preheat your oven before you start mixing the cookie dough. This will ensure that the cookies bake evenly and that the cooking time is accurate. If you want chewier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. For crispier cookies, bake them for a few minutes longer. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.
