CRISPY ALMOND BUTTER THINS (COOKIES)
Crispy, buttery and so delicious! -- plan ahead the dough needs to chill for a minimum of 3 hours or up to 3 days --- the success of this cookie will depend on the quality of butter that you use so purchase the best! Since the dough is very thick I suggest to use a stand mixer for mixing --- for *CHRISTMAS* coat in coloured sugar, also haven't tried it as yet but I plan on adding in some finely chopped candied maraschino cherries or dried fruit to the cookie batter for Christmas, so you might want to give that a try! --- servings is only estimated.

ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES WITH FROSTING
Easy to make almond-butter cookies, frosting optional. The flavor is delicate and very yummy. I am a novice in the kitchen and made these one night in about 30 min on a whim. The frosting hardens quickly, but it's easy to add water and microwave 15-30 seconds to soften it up again for spreading. I found this recipe on the back of the Publix sweet cream butter (unsalted) package; the credits on the package are "Publix Apron's Simple Meals"

ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES WITH CREAM CHEESE
I have had this recipe for so long that I can't remember where it came from, but I think I got it out of a magazine or newspaper. I like it because you can use the dough in so many different ways. For the Holidays, you can press half of a candied cherry in the center of unbaked cookie, and then after baking drizzle with either white or dark chocolate, melted.

ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES (GLUTEN FREE)
This recipe can be made with any kind of nut butter. It's not very sweet - peanut butter cookies usually are made with 1 cup pb and 1 cup sugar, so this is only half the amount of sugar. You can add raisins, chocolate chips, craisins, nuts.... whatever floats your boat! For the gluten free flour you can use 1 cup of any gf flour mix. Usually I use rice flour and tapioca starch.

Tips:
- To get the right texture, use a 1 to 1.5 ratio of almond butter to sugar. - Adding a touch of salt enhances the almond flavor and balances the sweetness. - Chilling the dough before baking prevents the cookies from spreading too much and helps them hold their shape. - Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. Overbaking can dry them out. - Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents them from breaking. - Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.Conclusion:
With their soft and chewy texture, rich almond flavor, and hint of salt, these almond butter cookies are a delightful treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking by adding different spices, extracts, or mix-ins. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy snack or a special dessert to share with friends and family, these almond butter cookies are sure to satisfy your cravings.
