    Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Vegan-Almond-Butter-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies

    Peanut Butter cookies  used to be my favorite cookie, I made them for the first time many, many years ago with my   5th grade class. We used a cookbook that was actually pages of sketched step-by-step instructions stapled together. There were probably 5 to 6 different recipes, but the one I fell in love with was Peanut Butter Cookies, I made them over and over again, it made me and my family very happy.

    I no longer make or eat Peanut Butter cookies, I have switched to almond, hazelnut or any other nut, because I have a child with a peanut allergy. But actually, the peanut is not even a nut, it's a legume.

    What is a legume? Well it's the fruit or seed of a plant. The most commonly known legumes are peas, beans, lentils, soybeans, tamarind and of course peanuts. In reality some legumes are not good for us, especially in their raw state. For more on legumes, check out The Legume Manifesto.

    OK, let's get back to the recipe, Almond Butter Cookie's, this recipe is adapted from Vegan Yumminess, Vegan Peanut Butter Cookie. If you're vegan or just want some tasty eats that just happen to be vegan, check out Vegan Yumminess.

    Almond-Butter-Cookie-DiptychMy version is a bit thinner with a crispy, chewy bite, because the almond butter I used was a oilier, thinner brand, (Target Simply Balanced All Natural Creamy Almond Butter) the thicker the nut butter, the thicker the cookie. I also traded cornstarch for arrowroot, (I didn't have cornstarch) and I added dark chocolate chips and sliced almonds.

      I am sorry to bother you. I found out you can use tapioca or cornstarch. Thank you. God bless you. Cookies look delicious.

        Hi L,
        Tapioca and cornstarch are great replacements for arrowroot. Enjoy your cookies.
