Gluten Free Almond Butter Chai Cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 c. butter softened (1 stick)
  • 3/4 c. brown sugar
  • 1/4 c. sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp. Chai Tea Concentrate I also added an addl. tsp
  • 1/2 c almond or cashew butter
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour I used King Arthur Measure for Measure
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp. ginger
  • 1/8 tsp. cloves
  • 1/4 tsp. allspice

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars. (Approximately 3 minutes.) Once creamed, blend in the egg. Blend in vanilla and tea concentrate. Finally blend in almond butter.
  • In a separate smaller bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and soda, and additional spices.
  • Slowly mix dry ingredients into wet, in three small additions. Dough will be moist. Like most cookie dough batters, the dough would benefit from being refrigerated, for at least 2-3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350. 
  • Cover cookie sheet in parchment paper. Scooping dough with a teaspoon, roll dough into balls. Place dough balls on covered cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart. Flatten balls using a fork in a hatch pattern.
  • Bake cookies 9-10 minutes. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes prior to put on cooling rack.
