Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and toast the almonds for 8–10 minutes on a baking sheet until golden and fragrant.
  2. Cream together the softened unsalted butter, almond butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2–3 minutes using an electric mixer.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, blending on low speed until smoothly combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the chopped toasted almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Scoop heaping portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, flattening slightly with fingers.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden; they may look underbaked.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure your unsalted butter is softened and avoid overmixing for the best texture. Trust the baking time; cookies will firm up as they cool. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
