If your cookies are spreading too much, it could be due to the consistency of your almond butter. Feel free to use a creamy almond butter, but keep an eye out for any excess oil that may pool on the top. Make sure the almond butter is well mixed in order to ensure that the oil is well distributed throughout.

Ingredients Needed
- Almond Butter: The star of this recipe, providing richness and healthy fats. Use natural almond butter for the best results.
- White Sugar: Adds sweetness and helps with that slight crispiness.
- Brown Sugar: Contributes to the chewiness and depth of flavor.
- Egg: Acts as a binder and gives the cookies structure.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor with its warm, aromatic notes.
- Baking Soda: Ensures the cookies have a light, airy texture.
- Salt: Balances the sweetness and brings out the flavors.
- All-Purpose Flour: Creates the perfect texture when combined with the other ingredients.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: For smooth blending, ensure your almond butter and egg are at room temperature.
- Parchment Paper: Prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup by lining your baking sheet.
- Measure Correctly: Spoon and level the flour to avoid dense cookies.
Almond Butter Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the almond butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. The mixture should be smooth and well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the almond butter mixture. Mix until the egg is fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Using a 2-inch cookie scoop, roll the dough into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each dough ball until about 1 inch thick with a fork, making a crisscross pattern on top.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
