Almond Butter Cookies

Yay!!!!! Christmas baking time!!!! Alright, get ready for a crazy amount of recipes and vegan goodness! I can tell you this, you will not only be receiving cookies and desserts, you will get recipes about gluten free lasagna and other apps that are yet to come!! I am sitting myself down and forcing myself to make sure I get all these recipes out to you! Starting now, with almond butter cookies.....mmm:)
You'll need...
1/2 cup of almond butter (raw if you want them lighter)
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon agave nectar, or maple syrup if that's what you have
1/3 cup of sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy milk
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup Slivered almonds

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Mix together the almond butter, extract, oil, agave nectar, sugars, and soy milk together. Make sure that it is thoroughly mixed!! In another bowl, mix the flour and baking soda, then add it too your wet ingredients. Using a spoon, take a scoop to make a ball about 1 inch in diameter. Then take your slivered almonds and place a few in the middle.


Put the cookies in the oven for 8 minutes, but always put the timer on around 5 or 6 minutes to make sure they do not burn, since everyone's oven works a little differently. When they finish, put them on a cooling rack, and then freeze them in an air tight container until you want to serve them (that is if you want to keep them fresh because you are not serving them for a few days). Take them out one hour before serving them!

THIS is the beginning,
