Hey, how is your spring so far?

Ours is kind of all over the place. One day: warm, sunny, and beautiful; the next grey and chilly. Today is one of those grey chilly days. All I want to do is curl up under a blanket with a big plate of cookies!

These almond butter cookies would be just the thing. They’re soft and pillow-y, a little nutty, with a hint of sweet almond extract. Dipping them in dark chocolate definitely does not hurt! And I will never turn down a sweet & salty treat, so we are accenting the melted chocolate with a little sea salt.

It creates such a gorgeous balance of flavors, and gives a little added crunch as well. It’s like sprinkles, only even tastier!

Ingredients

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment.
  • Place the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat on medium-high speed until very pale and fluffy (3 to 5 minutes).
  • Stir in the almond butter until incorporated.
  • Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, beating until completely incorporated.
  • Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula, then add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, stirring on medium-low speed until combined.
  •  Use a 1 1/2-tablespoon cookie scoop to drop balls of cookie dough onto the prepared sheets, allowing about two inches in between (for spreading).
  • Use the palm of your hand to press the balls slightly flat.
  • Bake (one sheet at a time) on the center rack of the oven for 7 to 10 minutes, or until set around the edges and just barely beginning to turn golden.
  • Cool completely on the baking sheet.
  • Dip one side of each cookie in melted chocolate, and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
