How to Make Almond Butter Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the almond butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, dip the tops of the cookies into the glaze and let the excess drip off. Place them back on the wire rack to let the glaze set.
