Notes

Don't over bake. It tends to get dark brown on the bottom if baked too long. Check on them after 20 minutes; if the edges turn golden, you know they’re done. And keep in mind the almond butter cookies will continue to harden as they cool on the baking sheet.

Use creamy almond butter and not natural or crunchy variety.

Don't use crunchy variety. The texture becomes too crumbly.
