Vegan Almond Butter Cookies - Vegan Cookie & Dessert Recipe - Crave Episode 3

How to make vegan almond butter cookies?

I love peanut butter cookies. I love chocolate chip cookies, but when I caught my cookie crave this morning, I did not want the same ole same ole. I have been seeing almond butter in the store more and more. Sometime it is way too expensive, but other times it is just a few dollars more than peanut butter. I could just imagine the almond-y flavor, but made with brown sugar so that they would be soft on the inside. My most popular childhood dessert/cookie was Peanut Butter cookies. My mother made them all the time from the recipe in the Betty Crocker cookbook. I hope I can re-vamp my childhood favorite and still trump my craving of today.

Vegan Almond Butter Cookies

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegan butter or margarine
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup almond butter
1/4 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, sift together all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the vegan butter and brown sugar. Mixture will be fluffy. Add in the almond butter, applesauce, and vanilla extract and continue to mix until well combined.

Slowly and gently mix in your dry ingredients until everything is incorporated.

Vegan Almond Butter Cookie dough should be stiff enough to press together and stick. If not, add a little more flour. Roll dough into balls about an inch in diameter. Place them about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Use a fork to press them down, creating the classic crisscross pattern.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are slightly brown. Allow the almond butter cookies to remain on the cookie sheet for about 4 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Enjoy.

I think almond butter sounds much yummier! I'm not a big fan of peanuts but I love peanut butter and almonds so an ALMOND butter sounds incredible. Can't wait to try this.

Love the honesty in your face at the end like "eh...I guess they're alright"...too funny! I've found that almond butter cookies taste best when you add some chocolate chips to the mix...at least that's what my kids say..ha.
