b_dazzld's Note:

Actual almond butter cookies, like peanut butter but with almonds. Mmm! Try with cashew butter also, but don't add the almond extract for those!

Great taste. I made two changes. I cooked the balls without pressing them down with a fork. I added Hershey Kisses with Almonds right after they came out of the oven. They are much better than peanut butter blossoms. I did not have the almond extract. With half of the 48 cookies, I rolled the cookie balls in finely chopped raw natural almonds. Next time I will use the almond extract. I will call them Almond Butter Blossoms.

Great Cookie!!! My son LOVES them, My only complaint is that even though the cookie dough smelled and tasted beautifully like almonds ..... the taste was a little lost as they cooked. But definitely a cookie that I will continue to make!

I really liked these,something different from peanut butter cookies.These are very delicious.Next time I'd make them a little smaller because they do tend to spread out and stick together when they're bigger.
