I'm always looking for ways to put a new spin on old recipes. This year I used a recipe for classic peanut butter cookies as a template for a new twist on an old favorite...and it was a hit!

Marietta's Almond Butter Cookies
1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup additional to roll cookies
1 stick butter, at room temperature
1 egg
1 cup smooth almond butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup almond flour
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter. Beat egg into mixture. Mix in almond butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine salt, baking soda, and flours and blend the together with a whisk. Add dry ingredients to moist ingredients in two or three increments.
Roll dough into 1 inch balls and then roll in sugar. Place on baking sheet and flatten with fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
