Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you use salted almond butter, omit the sea salt.
  • tip 2
    Make ahead and freeze for longer storage. Cookies can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw before eating.
  • tip 3
    To toast almonds, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
