These very yummy almond butter cookies are always a hit with my family and I am confident they will be with yours as well. I would describe the favour as lighter than your regular peanut butter cookie but just as delicious. The recipe makes a huge amount of cookies and you should easily get at least 3 dozen good sized cookies without any trouble at all. If you like your cookies a little on the chewy side then simply check on them around the 7 minute mark. If you leave these in for the full 12 minutes then the result will be a more crispy cookie. Either way they smell incredible and taste even better. Diet friendly too!
