Few months’ back, I decided to try almond butter. Everyone was talking so much about it that I couldn’t stop myself. So, like a fool, I bought the biggest jar from Costco. When you try something for the first time, you should get a tiny jar. Duh! No offence to you all almond butter lovers, I just don’t like it. Blame my palate. I tried the butter different ways but I couldn’t get past the first bite. So, it went to the back of the self in the refrigerator, ignored. Then, one day it clicked me. I started browsing Pinterest and found a few cake and cookie recipes that called for almond butter. Amanda’s Almond Butter Cookies got my attention. The recipe looked simple, attainable and the direction was equally straightforward. I gave it a go and the cookies turned out perfect. Although mine didn’t look as neatly shaped as hers, the cookies crumbled beautifully. That was enough for me.
Her recipe calls for brown sugar but I didn’t have it, so I used white sugar instead. I also added some Butterscotch Chips to the dough for some chocolaty bite in between. It’s really one of those cookie recipes that you should definitely try, unless you have a nut allergy.
