Kristin Cavallari’s Almond Butter Sugar Cookies

Kristin Cavallari is mom bod goals.

Wait shit, Kristin Cavallari is JUST plain bod goals.

Really, how the hell does she look SO insane after 3 kids? Crazy. Wellllll after reading her book, I found out.

That’s right, she shares all her favorite meals, recipes, workouts, secrets ( hint: she eats CLEAN, unprocessed foods— shocking! ) in her new book Balancing In Heels.

To be real, I may or may not have read the entire thing in one sitting…in the dark on my iPhone from 1 AM to 4 AM like a creep. Clearly it was difficult to put the book down because A LOT OF RECIPES stood out.

I ESPECIALLY FELL IN LOVE with her mouth-watering almond butter sugar cookies.

If the thought of these don’t make you drool then I don’t know what will? The ingredients are so pure & clean that when you have one bite you will just get it.

Recently we made them for friends & honestly everyone was shocked at the ingredients because they legit taste like Mrs. Field’s Cookies…but unprocessed.

The whole recipe was so simple that I actually plan on making them once a week to have on hand when I’m craving something sweet. EASY is my thing guys.

( …Even Mr. Chip’s Ahoy ( Michael ) shoved ten down his throat ).

For the record, I was very pleased at my homemaking attempt here- so much so, that I feel like I deserve a gold star. Nothing better than having fresh, clean cookies coming out of the oven at 6 PM. CALL ME June Cleaver.

Let’s get right down to the recipe, k?

Kristin Cavallari’s Almond Butter Sugar Cookies

1 stick unsalted grass-fed butter, softened
1 cup raw coconut sugar
1/2 cup raw almond butter
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups oat flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt

+ Directions: preheat oven to 350 degree F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a mixer, cream together butter, sugar, & almond butter until fluffy. Add the egg & mix to combine. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, & salt with a spoon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients & mix well. Spoon tablespoon-size balls onto the prepared baking sheets, keeping a little distance between each ball. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. The cookies are thin, so keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn. Makes 24 cookies.
