Almond Butter Blossoms
Description
This recipe combines almond butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to form a smooth dough. Baking powder and flour provide structure, with adjustments made if the dough is oily depending on almond butter consistency. Chocolate chips are folded in to add bursts of chocolate throughout the cookie.
The dough is shaped into balls, chilled briefly, then baked at 350°F for about 10 minutes until edges set but the center remains tender. After cooling, a melted milk chocolate topping mixed with coconut oil is drizzled over the cookies for added richness and shine.
These cookies offer a chewy texture with the pronounced flavor of almond butter complemented by chocolate chips and topping. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated to maintain softness and freshness.
Including a piece of bread in the storage container helps keep the cookies soft by absorbing excess moisture. This is a practical tip for maintaining optimal texture after baking and storage.
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond butter creamy
- ¼ cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup milk chocolate for melted chocoalte topping
- 1 tsp coconut oil for melted chocolate topping
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth throughout.
- Add in baking powder and flour and fold together until a dough has formed. If your dough is oily (will depend on the consistency of your almond butter), add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until oil is absorbed.
- Fold in chocolate chips, then form the dough into balls. Refrigerate the dough balls for 10 minutes and preheat the oven at 350°F.
- Place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Once the cookies are cool, combine ½ cup milk chocolate with 1 tsp of coconut oil. Microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval (ensuring not to burn)..microwave for 2-3 times until chocolate is fully melted.
- Use a butter knife or spoon to drizzle chocolate topping on each cookie.
- Let the chocolate set and enjoy!
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
- Place a piece of bread in the container with cookies; it helps maintain softness by absorbing moisture.
