Delicious Almond Butter Blossoms

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Almond Butter Blossoms.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly golden.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and almond butter. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat them together until the mixture is creamy and smooth, which should take about 30 seconds.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in the white sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Beat everything together until it's thoroughly combined and fluffy.

4. Step 4

   Now, it's time to add the wet ingredients! Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until everything is well mixed and moist.

5. Step 5

   Gradually add the whole wheat flour, mixing until it's incorporated. Then, add as much of the all-purpose flour as your mixer can handle. For the remaining flour, stir it in by hand until a soft dough forms.

6. Step 6

   In a shallow bowl, mix together the 3 tablespoons of sugar and the ground almonds. This will be your delightful coating for the cookie balls.

7. Step 7

   Pinch off pieces of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the almond-sugar mixture until they're nicely coated. Place the cookie balls on ungreased baking sheets, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between them.

8. Step 8

   Bake your cookies in the preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the tops are beautifully cracked.

9. Step 9

   As soon as they come out of the oven, gently press a chocolate almond kiss into the center of each cookie. Let them cool on the baking sheets, allowing the chocolate to melt slightly into the cookie for that perfect finish.
