Robby's Baking Therapy

Hello, every birdy. This recipe is going to be going down in my favorites, and one I am going to make for years to come. But that can only be said when I have almonds in the house. 

Cyno is the character that I selected for this recipe. He is a leader of sorts in Sumeru. Like Dehya, one of his favorite foods is nuts. He likes roasted nuts and dried foods. And honestly, in a weird way, this recipe represents that. 

The first thing you will want to do is preheat your oven to 325F. 

The recipe and the measurements will be in the description down below. 

I made some almond butter and I thought it would give me the same constancy if I made my peanut butter cookies. And this was the result. 

For the almond butter you will need: 

• Whole raw almonds 
• Oil 
• Food Proccessor

You are going to put 1 cup of almonds into your food processor with approximately 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. And pulse it for a few minutes, until the natural oils from the almonds come out and it has the same texture as peanut butter. You can add more or less than that if you want. I went with more almonds because it didn’t seem like enough for my family. 

For the cookie itself you are going to need:

• The almond butter
• Egg(s)
• Granulated sugar
• Baking powder
• Baking soda 

For every cup of almond butter, you are going to add 1 egg and 1 cup of sugar. Next, you are going to add in your baking powder and baking soda. 

Using a cookie scoop or a cereal spoon that measures about 1 teaspoon. Roll each cookie out, in the palm of your hand and repeat. These cookies will be a little bit on the wetter side. But do not worry. They will taste amazing. 

Place them 2 inches apart from each other. You do not want them touching because they will spread. 

Bake the cookies for about 6-8 minutes. The first batch that I did, I baked them for 8 minutes and they seemed to be a little bit darker than I wanted. So I reduced the time to 6 minutes and they were brown, but not burnt. But when talking about time and baked goods I would just say use your best judgment when it comes to your oven. Every oven is different, and the time may be different for you. Not just talking about these cookies, I am referring to any recipe. 

I honestly had not really an opinion about these cookies when I first had the idea for them. Or rather, when my dad and brother came up with the idea. So I made them, and they turned out a lot flatter than I had expected. 

BUT… the response to these cookies was overwhelmingly positive. My family really loved them and I brought them in with me for my volunteering, and everyone loved them. They told me that they tasted really good.

As most of you know I use baking as an experimental process so the fact that everyone loved them made me really happy. 

I hope that you liked this recipe. Feel free to check it out for yourself. See you in the next post. Thank you.
