Ingredients

• 1 cup almond butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup chopped almonds (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the almond butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. If desired, fold in the chopped almonds for added texture and flavor.
6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press down on each cookie with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Enjoy the chewy almond butter cookies with your favorite beverage or pack them in an airtight container for later indulgence.
