Almond Butter Cookies

Recipe by Anna Olson from Sugar

Pin It

Makes about 2 dozen cookies (24 servings)

Use pure almond butter for this recipe, with no added sugar or other ingredients. Almond butter can be found in two styles, though, raw and toasted. I favour the rich nuttiness of the toasted almond butter – just be sure to stir the butter before using to re-incorporate the oils that naturally separate.

Serves 12

Ingredients

10 Tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature
½ cup sugar
1/3 cup pure almond butter
1 egg white
¼ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp rum extract (optional)
1 1/3 cups pastry flour
¼ tsp salt
24 whole almonds

Chocolate Nut Filling

1/3 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
¼ cup toasted almond butter

Method

Preheat oven to 350 °F.
Cream butter and sugar together until smooth. Beat in almond butter and egg white and stir in vanilla extract and rum. Sift in pastry flour and salt and combine until dough is soft and smooth.
Roll cookies into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Press a whole almond into center of each cookie. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes on the center rack of the oven until cookies lightly brown around edges. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack.
Dress up these delectable dainties with a chocolate nut butter filling.

Saw this on Sugar last night and HAD to try them this morning. My supermarket didn't have almond butter though so I used a chunky natural cashew and peanut butter. Worked perfectly!

Sounds delicious! I'm interested in trying this recipe but I'm wondering how to toast the almond butter. Or is toasted almond butter a separate product from regular almond butter?
