Ingredients
1 cup almond butter (preferably natural and unsweetened)
1 cup sugar (brown or granulated)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon salt (to enhance flavor)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, mix the almond butter and sugar until smooth.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and baking soda. Stir until it’s all one dough.
If you want, add the salt for extra taste.

Notes
Tips for the Best Almond Butter Cookies
To make the best almond butter cookies, pay close attention to ingredients and baking. Choosing the right almond butter and knowing the perfect baking time are key. These steps can greatly improve your baking experience.
Choosing the Right Almond Butter
Almond butter choices can greatly affect your cookies’ taste and texture. You can pick from smooth or chunky, and salted or unsalted. Smooth almond butter makes cookies soft and chewy.
Chunky almond butter adds fun nut bits for a different feel. Using unsalted almond butter lets you control the sweetness better. This way, you avoid unexpected saltiness.
Choose almond butter based on what you like. The right choice makes your cookies taste and feel better.
Perfect Baking Time and Temperature
Almond butter cookies usually bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 350°F. It’s important to watch them closely to avoid overbaking. Overbaked cookies can become dry and crumbly.
Take them out when they’re lightly golden. They will set as they cool. This ensures they stay chewy and delicious.
