BUTTER COOKIE DOUGH RECIPES

Steps:

• Gather all your ingredients.
• Heat treat the flour to ensure it is safe to eat. Do not skip this step as untreated flour can contain contaminants and is not safe to eat. Place the flour in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high in 30 second intervals while stirring in between. Use an instant read thermometer to ensure that the flour reaches 165 degrees farenheit throughout.
• In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the vanilla, cream, and salt. Mix to combine. Then add the heat treated flour and mix to incorporate.
• Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Line baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Beat butter until creamy.
• Add sugars beating until fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.
• Scrap the bowl as necessary.
• Beat in almond butter until incorporated.
• Beat in vanilla and then eggs, one at a time.
• Gently stir in the dry ingredients (I switched to the paddle on my kitchen aid mixer).
• Add ground almonds and stir until just incorporated.
• Roll cookies into 2 Tbs sized balls.
• Place on baking sheets and press each ball twice with a fork to make a crisscross design.
• Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes.
• Edges should be slightly browned and the cookies puffed.
• Cool on sheets for 4 minutes before transferring to a cookie cooling rack.
