Title: Almond Praline Cookies
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup almond flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
– 1/4 cup almond butter
– 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup chopped almonds
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the vegan butter, almond butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
5. Gently fold in the chopped almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
7. Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten and create a crisscross pattern on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
