Almond Butter Blossom Recipe 435

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Transfer the almonds to a food processor and add 1/2 teaspoon salt, then process until it is a smooth paste, about 5 minutes. Add the honey and continue to process until combined. With the machine still running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons oil. Thin if desired with the remaining tablespoon oil.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat butter and almond butter in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until creamy, about 30 seconds. Beat in 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt until thoroughly combined. Beat egg, milk, and vanilla extract into moist ingredients.
• Beat whole wheat flour and as much of the all-purpose flour as the mixer can handle; stir remaining flour into dough.
• Combine 3 tablespoons sugar with ground almonds in a shallow bowl. Pinch off dough and roll into 1-inch balls; roll balls in almond-sugar mixture. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are firm and tops are cracked, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately press a chocolate almond kiss into middle of each cookie; let cool.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• In large bowl, beat almond butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and 1 egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon, until well blended. Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt until dough forms.
• Shape dough into 60 (1-inch) balls. In small bowl, beat 2 egg whites lightly with fork. Place chopped almonds in another small bowl. Dip each ball into egg white, then roll in almonds. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute, then press 1 milk chocolate candy in center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours or until chocolate candy is set. Store covered in airtight container at room temperature with waxed paper between layers.
