Snickerdoodle Almond Butter Cookies (Almondoodles)
Everybody loves cookies, especially these Sohnrey Men. So I decided to try and create a delicious cookie featuring our new almond butter. After a few trial runs I landed on a hybrid peanut butter cookie recipe. Since we eat sleep and breathe almonds, substituting almond butter for peanut butter seemed like a logical next step to up my cookie game.
After quite a few dozen traditional almond butter cookies, I took it to the next level and used our new Snickerdoodle Almond Butter. And OH MY GOD, mouthwatering is an understatement. These cookies have all the flavor of a snickerdoodle with the rich nuttiness of a peanut butter cookie, literally a match made in heaven. Double or triple the recipe because one batch is never enough! Our Snickerdoodle Almond Butter is now available in our gift shop and online. Also try our traditional Natural Almond Butter and Maple Almond Butter!
Tips:
- Since the Snickerdoodle Almond Butter is sweetened, you can subtract a tablespoon of each of the granulated and brown sugars.
- Use a cookie scooper to get uniform sized cookies.
- Airbake cookie sheets work wonders
