These cookies are my momma’s favourites. She says they bring back childhood memories, but in a healthier version, of course.
These remind me of a rustic version of those Nutter Butter sandwich cookies, in a peanut-free form. If your child’s school does not allow peanuts, then this recipe is for you! If you would like a nut-free cookie, you can substitute the almond butter with any kind of seed butter; sunflower and pumpkin seed butter will both work splendidly.
These cookies are a tad bit dry, making them perfect for dunking in your favourite milk beverage! Just like a Nutter Butter, you can slather in some nut butter, or our creamy peanut butter sauce to make a sandwich cookie. These make a perfect snack for a quick protein boost and a mid-day pick-me-up! Pack a few in your bag for those moments on-the-go when you just want to buy something from the vending machine. Not only will these cookies provide you with the nutrients your body craves, but your wallet will thank you as well.
If those reasons still don’t convince you to make these almond butter cookies, perhaps their simple ingredients and instructions will win you over 😉
