These delicious cookies are chock-full of almonds. Use almond butter made from roasted almonds; if it's unsalted, increase the salt in the recipe to 1/4 tsp/1 mL or use salted butter and omit the salt. If you wish, you can chop and add 3 oz/90 g semisweet or bittersweet chocolate to the dough.

Ingredients

1/2 cup  (125 mL)  unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup  (75 mL)  packed brown sugar
1/3 cup  (75 mL)  granulated sugar
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  almond butter
1 egg
1 1/4 cup  (300 mL)  all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  vanilla extract
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  baking soda
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  baking powder
Pinch salt
3/4 cups  (175 mL)  coarsely chopped almonds

Preparation

In large bowl, beat butter until fluffy; beat in brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in almond butter; beat in egg and vanilla until smooth.

In separate bowl, whisk together ground almonds, baking soda, baking powder and salt; stir into batter. Fold in chopped almonds.

Roll rounded tablespoonfuls/15 mL of the dough into balls; place 2 inches/5 cm apart on parchment paper–lined or greased rimless baking sheets. With fork dipped in flour, press cookies to make crisscross pattern and flatten to about 1/2-inch/ 1 cm thickness.

Bake in centre of 350F/180C oven until edges and bottoms are light golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on pan on rack for 5 minutes; transfer to rack and let cool completely.

Makes about 30 cookies.
