I like using white “sparkling sugar” and it’s usually sold as sprinkles in the baking aisle. Sugar coating: You have some options for the coarse sugar coating.I like using roasted salted almonds because their flavor pairs nicely with cinnamon and sweet brown sugar. Add optional chopped almonds: For more flavor, add chopped roasted, salted, raw, or unsalted almonds.You need 10 main ingredients for these almond butter cookies including all-purpose flour, brown & white granulated sugars, vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon, egg, almond butter, salt, and butter.

Overview: How To Make Almond Butter Sparkle Cookies It’s hard to tell, but the almond butter pictured with the other ingredients is thinner and produced cookies with fewer cracks. The almond butter pictured next on the left is pretty thick and what I used for the crinkled cookies. Both cookies use the same dough, taste identical, and are certainly pretty, but if you wonder why your cookies don’t have crinkles/cracks– thin almond butter could be the culprit! Pictured next you can see the difference between using a runny almond butter (left, more spread) vs a thicker almond butter (right, less spread and more crinkles). I always love a good cookie comparison and you can find other comparisons in my brownie cookies and coconut lime cookies recipe testing processes. And don’t forget to chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. If you want crinkles and cracks in today’s almond butter cookies, pour out excess oil from the jar and stir it up very well before measuring. The difference in consistency between brands or even within the same jar will change how your cookie dough looks, feels, and bakes. Or, in today’s case, the start of a fresh jar of almond butter is thinner than the bottom of the jar. For example, processed store-bought creamy peanut butter such as Jif creamy is much thicker than natural-style oily thin peanut butter. The Consistency of Your Almond Butter is Important

This quick chill time is enough for you to preheat the oven and get the coarse sugar/sprinkles ready for rolling.


The cookies are NOT cakey– just very soft. The coarse crunchy sugar coating acts as a crust for the soft almond butter crumbs inside.
