The classic cookie is made with peanut butter and while I love peanut butter, I also really love almond butter!
Any nut butter may be used in this recipe. Whatever you choose, it’s a must make for the holiday season and a quintessential Christmas cookie!
I made these for a Christmas party the other day and everyone absolutely loved them!
This recipe makes 3 dozen cookies, so if there are any leftovers, they make for a great freezer friendly cookie as well!
Ingredients needed:
- Almond butter
- Shortening ( Such as Crisco)
- Dark brown sugar
- White sugar (granulated sugar)
- Eggs
- Milk
- Vanilla Extract
- Flour
- Baking Soda
- Baking Powder
- Cinnamon
- Salt

How to make Almond Butter Blossoms:
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- In a stand mixer or hand mixer, mix almond butter, shortening, dark brown sugar and white sugar together. Once nicely mixed, add in 2 eggs, milk & vanilla. Mix well.
- In a separate large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt together. Then stir into the almond butter mixture.
- Roll dough into small balls, and then coat in the granulated sugar. Place on cookie sheet (spray with non stick baking spray,) or line a baking sheet with a Silpat and repeat until cookie dough is gone! Tip: if needed, dust hands with flour before rolling so cookie dough doesn’t stick!
- Bake in the oven for 11-13 minutes. Immediately after removing from the oven, press a chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie. Let cool completely. ENJOY
