Soft Almond Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Delightful soft cookies fresh from the oven! Oatmeal Cookies made with almond butter and they are perfectly soft and chewy.

The very first bite you take, will make sure swoon! These cookies are so soft and full of wonderful almond butter flavor. They are amazing fresh out of the oven!

Have you tried almond butter yet? I’ve been obsessed! Our favorite peanut butter, MaraNatha, in not available for now and I’m not sure when the brand will be bringing it back. So I’ve been trying their other products. I am completely obsessed with almond butter and I think I like it much better than peanut butter.

One evening, over the holiday break, little man asked me for some cookies in the evening. So I was going to whip up some oatmeal cookies for him, they are one of his favorites. (Although, he doesn’t discriminate much when it comes to cookies.) As I was starting to make the cookies dough, I decided to make them with some almond butter that I had. It was supposed to be just a fun night of baking experiments. I had no plans for blogging them…until I tasted these cookies. I wrote down the recipe right away and took pictures the next day. These cookies needed to be shared with the world!
