🥜Ingredients (Makes about 24 cookies)
1 cup nut butter (smooth or crunchy—your choice)
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 large egg

🍳Step-by-Step: Nut Butter Cookies in 4 Moves
1. Grind the Nuts
Use the cheese shredder hand crank with the crushing blade to grind nuts into coarse crumbs—quick, even, and no mess. Set aside.
2. Cream the Base
In a large bowl, beat nut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla—mix until smooth.
3. Mix the Dough
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Fold in the ground nuts for that perfect texture.
4. Shape & Bake
Roll dough into balls, place on a lined baking sheet, and gently flatten with a fork (classic criss-cross!). Sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Bake until edges are golden. Cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack.
