<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThese Almond Butter Cookies will have you wanting more and more!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I just realized I should call these cookies ABCs–A<\/strong>lmond B<\/strong>utter C<\/strong>hocolate Chip Cookies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is not an understatement when I say these are the best cookies that have come out of my kitchen<\/strong> in a long time. They emerge from the oven puffy and golden brown, but they sink into the pretty cracks as they cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I halved the recipe to make just 1 dozen cookies (because that’s what I do!), but I immediately regretted it. I wanted more more more. A little portion control was absolutely in order, because 12 giant cookies is a bit much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Preheat the oven and have a cookie sheet lined with a silicone mat ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, whisk together all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) in a small bowl and set aside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n In a medium bowl, beat together the butter, almond butter, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Next, add the egg and vanilla and continue beating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Then, slowly sprinkle the dry ingredients in while beating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Finally, stir in the chocolate. Press the dough flat in the bowl, divide it in half by eye and scoop 6 cookies from each half, for a total of 1 dozen cookies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Space the dough balls evenly on the prepared cookie sheet and bake for 11 minutes. Let cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheet, and then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes, if desired.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Freshly baked cookies stay soft for up to 3 days on the counter at room temperature if stored in an air-tight container. Do not store in the fridge. You can freeze unbaked dough; bake from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes of extra baking time. You can also freeze already baked cookies flat, and defrost at room temperature for a few hours before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These almond butter cookies are naturally fluffy, because of the egg and almond butter. They come out of the oven fluffy with a few bubbles on top, and then they sink as they cool into pretty, chewy crackly cookies. However, to make any cookie recipe fluffier and softer, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch per 1 cup of flour. I did not test that with this recipe, however, because the cookies are plenty fluffy!<\/p> <\/div> Almond butter has a similar fat content to butter, so it’s an easy swap in cookie recipes. This almond butter cookie recipe contains a small amount of butter and nut butter mixed together for the perfect combination.<\/p> <\/div> Cookie doughs that contain egg yolks and brown sugar stay moist for longer after baking than cookies made with egg whites and white sugar. To keep cookies moist, store them in air-tight containers at room temperature with a slice of bread.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Make these cookies!<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Stack](\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Almond-Butter-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies-8.jpg\")
