I was trying to use up a large jar of almond butter and these were the result. They are good with jam on top, if you prefer things a little bit sweeter.

Ingredients

• ½ cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 large egg
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup whole wheat flour
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup granular sucrolose sweetener (such as Splenda®)
• 1 cup toffee baking bits (such as Heath®)
• 1 cup unsalted, no sugar added almond butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Beat butter, brown sugar, and sweetener in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat almond butter, egg, milk, honey, and vanilla extract into butter mixture until smooth. Stir all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking soda into almond butter mixture; fold in toffee bits until dough is just combined.

Step 3

Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Press and flatten balls with a fork, creating a crosshatch.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes.
