Almond Butter Cookies are a delightful treat, combining rich, nutty flavors with a soft yet chewy texture. These cookies are a great option for those seeking a quick, simple, and healthier alternative to traditional cookies. Perfect for a low-carb diet, they are made with a few basic ingredients, offering a sweet indulgence without the guilt.
Preheat Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F to ensure it reaches the correct temperature before baking. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
Mix Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine almond butter, a sugar substitute like erythritol, an egg, baking soda, and a splash of vanilla extract. Stir the ingredients together until well blended, forming a smooth dough that will hold its shape when rolled into balls.
Form Dough Balls
Once the dough is ready, roll it into small balls, about the size of a tablespoon each. Place the dough balls evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet, giving each one room to spread slightly as they bake.
Flatten Cookies
Using a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly. Create a crisscross pattern by pressing the fork in the opposite direction as well. This step not only gives the cookies their classic look but also helps them bake evenly.
Bake and Cool
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown around the edges. Once done, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and develop their chewy texture. Enjoy your homemade almond butter cookies!
