ALMOND BUTTER & PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup almond butter

1 cup peanut butter                                                                                                                                                                            

2 eggs

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons flour (optional)

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla paste

1 pinch salt

Chocolate chips (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.  Grease cookie sheets (or use a baking stone).  In a medium bowl  (using a mixer) mix almond butter, peanut butter and sugars together until smooth.  Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the flour, baking soda, salt and vanilla.  Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on your baking sheet (or baking stone).  Gently pat them into a disc shape and add a few chocolate chips on top (optional).

Bake for 8 – 10 minutes.  [In my oven, I baked them for 4 minutes, then turned the baking sheet around and baked them an addition 5 minutes (or for a total of 9 minutes of baking time)].  Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.  Using a thin spatula turner, remove from baking sheet and set on a cooling rack to cool completely.  Store in an air-tight container.  Makes approximately 36 cookies.
