Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut Again.

It is the Holiday Season and for many that means baking. I enjoy baking with my son but how does one bake without grains? I have managed with a few recipes and one is an entirely flourless cookie using almond butter. Feel free to replace the almond butter with peanut butter for variation.

Flourless Almond Butter Cookies

  1 cup natural almond butter

  1 cup sugar

  1 large egg, lightly beaten

  1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  Coarse sea salt

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place racks in the upper and lower third of the oven.

In a medium bowl, mix the almond butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies.

Bake until golden around edges, about 10 minutes, switching the position of the pans halfway thorough baking. Transfer to racks to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.

 

Happy Holidays!
