Almond Butter Sprinkle Cookies
These healthy sprinkle cookies implement a few healthy swaps to create a cookie that's slightly nutty and just the right amount of sweet.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 TSP baking soda
- 1/4 TSP salt
- 1/2 cup creamy almond butter (it's best to use almond butter that's on the drippy side)
- 6 TBSP softened coconut oil
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1/4 cup natural apple sauce
- 1 TSP vanilla extract
- 1/4 TSP almond extract (optional)
- 1/3 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda and salt.
- In another medium mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the almond butter, coconut oil, and cane sugar for 1 minute.
- Add in the apple sauce + vanilla and almond extracts and beat well again.
- Add the flour mixture into the wet ingredient bowl in two batches.
- Gently fold in the sprinkles.
- Chill the dough for 1 hour.
- When the dough is almost done chilling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with either cooking spray or parchment paper.
- Form the dough into balls about 2 TBSP each, forming 20-24 cookies. Place the balls on the baking sheet a few inches apart.
- Bake for 11-14 minutes, just until the cookies have become golden brown on the bottoms. They may look a bit undercooked in the centers, but they'll continue to firm up once removed from the oven.
- Let the cookies completely cool right on the baking sheet. Transfer them off the sheet with a spatula, and enjoy! Leftover cookies will keep well in an airtight container.
