A few weeks ago I felt the urge to make a batch of almond butter cookies, something I’d never made before, since I had a huge double-sized jar of expired almond butter that I had gotten at Costco a little while back. Natural nut butters don’t really expire that quickly and they’re usually okay, just a little hard to stir to get the oil blended in well. Plus there was no way I could waste all of that goodness… that stuff’s not cheap! So I took a chance and found a really simple, easy recipe online and they turned out fantastic! A little dry and flakey, but full of almond-buttery goodness. Only 6 ingredients! (I added some spices in there for an extra kick.) Oh yeah, they’re vegan and pretty healthy, too!
Lightly grease a baking sheet (or use a nonstick one).
Mix together almond butter and oil; beat until smooth.
Mix in maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Stir together flour, salt, and spices, if using.
Add to almond butter mixture and mix until just combined.
Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Roll dough into 3/4-inch balls.
Place on baking sheet and flatten with a fork.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes, until bottoms are lightly browned.
Cool a couple of minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Variation: try with other nut butters.
GOOOOOODDD lord that sounds soooo yummy if you don”t mind I am going to run off with that recipe and eat all 20 to 30 small cookies all by myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!Smooches,Steph
Wow. Thanks for sharing! I haven’t found any really good vegan recipes in a while. I’m off to bake these NOW.
This is so surreal. I just found your blog while looking at Tastespotting, and before that a mutual friend of ours showed me your blog and I didn’t really realize it until now, but you used to be on LiveJournal quite a bit, right? We were never on the same friends list (I don’t think) but I always loved reading your LJ! Now you have a foodie blog, this is great. :] Will definitely keep watch.
I’ll take a dozen or two or three lol. They look delicious.
These look great! I usually make the 3-ingredient peanut butter (or I suppose any nut butter) cookies: 1 cup peanut butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 egg and they also turn out a little dry and flaky but delicious! I’ve never tried incorporating flour into them but I really like this recipe and only 1/4 cup maple syrup is sweet enough?Pretty awesome that your Tofu Pie was your first post and a winner in the PBE, great job! From what I hear about the expiration date on nut butters, even once they smell rancid they aren’t harmful. The same goes for when they start tasting rancid but at that point you won’t want to eat it, so it just works itself out naturally =).
Nothing better then a Peanut Butter Cookie
