Almond Butter Sugar Cookies

DSC_0652.jpg

These cookies never last long at our house - the are perfectly sweet, chewy and nobody even questions if they’re “healthy” - I’m looking at you, Virginia I found the original recipe from Skinny Confidential and added the cinnamon and the sprinkle of salt at the end. It’s a great one that we go back to again and again. I haven’t tried subbing the nut butter or oat flour yet but I’m guessing any nut butter would work and it would just change the flavor profile - I’d be interested in using pecan butter in these…yum. Let me know if you try.

Ingredients:

1 stick unsalted butter (I like Kerrygold)

1 cup coconut sugar

1/2 cup almond butter

1 egg

1 1/2 cup oat flour

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinnamon

flaky salt for sprinkling on at the end

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Cream together butter, sugar and almond butter in bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy.

  3. Add egg and beat to incorporate.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix oat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

  5. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix to combine (dough is thin).

  6. Drop tablespoon-sized balls onto baking sheet (leave space in between) and bake for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky salt, let rest 5 minutes and enjoy.
