Almond Butter Cookies

This is what my Mom would call a "Cup of Tea Cookie", meaning obviously, that it is an ideal treeat to be enjoyed with your favorite steaming cup of relaxing tea. This one is soft and slightly chewy, with a distinct almond nutty flavour. I always eat the edges first to save the toasted almond at the center for last.

Cream

½ cup butter

½ cup almond butter

½ cup white sugar

½ cup brown sugar

Add

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

Sift together:

1 ¼ cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

Add to creamed mixture and fold until dough forms.

Make 1 inch balls and press each ball down sightly on a parchment lined baking sheet 3 inches apart. Press a toasted whole almond into the center of the slightly flattened dough balls before baking if desired.

Bake 12 minutes until golden brown at the edges @ 350 degrees F. Do not over bake or cookies will be brittle.
