Almond Butter Cookies - vegan friendly
I'm back in baking action!! Wooohooo! We finally had a relaxing weekend where we weren't rushing around. Ahhhh did it feel good. One of the things I wanted to do this weekend was experiment with some jars of creamy almond butter that MaraNatha sent to me. I was so excited when they asked if I'd give their nut butters a try!! I heart nut butters!
I also heart PB cups... so I figured I'd make an inside out almond butter cup cookie as my first experiment :) This is for a small batch so totally double it unless you're making just enough for yourself and your sweetie :) Oh and a bonus, these are vegan!

I don't really love almond butter, but I am sure that I'd love almond butter cookies! :)
What an unusual, and I'll bet delicious, cookie! Love the chocolate surprise in the center! :)
I love almond butter and dark chocolate, especially together. I'm sure these cookies are every bit as delicious as they look!
I can't wait to try these! They sound amazing!
These look perfectly delicious for a healthier cookie. I have been on the look for healthy cookies. I will have to give them a try!
yum, yum, yum! i'm giving up sweets for lent, but this is something i would definitely like to make after lent is over. dark chocolate with almond butter is incredible!
So tasty, so simple! Sounds like a must-make to me. :)`
These are so thick and scrumptious looking!
these look good, I'll make them for my son. I just got a jar of almond butter in the organic food store and have been using it for oatmeal and stuff. yum yum
I added vanilla and omitted the cinnamon but I don't think I stirred my almond butter well enough because they were super oily when I was forming them. Still very tasty though!
Great recipe! Thanks for sharing this to us. I'm sure my wife and kid would surely love this for their daily snack. It would also go great with a hot cup of coffee, beans freshly ground from my new coffee grinder conical Please continue to share more recipes!
