Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter. This will help the cookies spread better and create a more even bake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cookies, making them light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cookies from curdling.
  • Stir in the almond butter until well combined. Be sure to use a smooth almond butter for the best results.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. Do not overbake, as this will result in dry cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying. This will help to prevent them from breaking.

These quick almond butter cookies are a delicious and easy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a snack, dessert, or to take to a party.
