Almond Butter Sticks are a melt-in-your-mouth delicious and tender cookie made with a cream cheese dough and an almond extract sugar filling.

Sometimes I make these around the holidays and each time I do, I wonder why they aren’t on our dessert tray every Christmas.  It may not be the first cookie the kids grab but that’s because they don’t know any better – and we should keep it that way.

The tender cream cheese dough is a dream to work with.

Roll into a 12″ x 12″ square, spread with softened butter and cut it in half.

Almond Butter Sticks

Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 55 mins
Yield: 28 cookies
Course: Cookie
Author: Tricia
PRINT RECIPE
A melt-in-your-mouth delicious and tender cookie made with a cream cheese dough and an almond extract sugar filling

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon (divided)
  • 6 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg, separated (white reserved for glazing)
  • ⅓ cup sliced almonds
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small bowl combine the sugar and almond extract; cover and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine 8 tablespoons (½ cup) butter and cream cheese. Beat on low until blended. Add the egg yolk and blend until smooth. Add half the flour mixture and beat on low until combined. Add the remaining flour and blend just until the dough starts to come together.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Knead by hand about 25 strokes until the dough is pliable. Roll or press into a 12x12-inch square. Spread with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • Cut the dough in half and place one half on the prepared cookie sheet, butter side up.
  • Spoon the sugar mixture to within ½-inch of the dough edges all the way around. Place the remaining dough half, butter side down, over the sugar. Press the edges tightly to seal.
  • Brush the dough with a lightly beaten egg white. Sprinkle with almonds and coarse sugar.
  • Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. It's best removed from the oven when you think it needs one or two more minutes.
  • Cool at least 30 minutes.
  • Cut the pastry in half lengthwise and then into ½-inch by 1-inch strips crosswise.
  • Store in an airtight container.

    These almond bars were amazing and yes, a big hit, at our Christmas get together. I just added a little extract almond paste on top of one half (on top of the sugar), to give it a little more almond flavor. I also added a little vanilla extract and almond extract to the dough as well. Obviously, I can never have enough almond flavor, LOL. Thank you for sharing the recipe!!

    I wonder if you could use Almond flour instead of AP flour? We try to be gluten free

      Hi Vivian. I have not tested these cookies using almond flour so I can say. If you want to give them a try, I would do part almond flour and part gluten free baking flour mixed. I fear all almond flour would be too moist for these cookies which are pretty tender. Good luck! Let us know how they turn out for you.

    I made these last night, didn’t realize I didn’t have almond extract, so used orange extract and some orange zest in the sugar mixture…OMG so GOOD! Not a crumb left on the plate, can’t wait to try it with almond extract.

    Viewing your pictures, it looks as though you rolled the dough to about an 18 inch rectangle rather than a 12×12 square. Could you possibly have meant roll dough to 24″x12″ rectangle and then after cutting in half you’d have a 12×12 once placed on top of the other half. However, the finished product looks more rectangular than square. This sounds so delicious, but I’d appreciate clarification before I begin.
    Thank you.

      April 29, 2020 at 8:03 am

      Hi Jill. The recipe is correct as written. In the video and photos, I rolled the dough into a 12×12-inch square. I cut the 12×12 in half and placed the now 6×12-inch half over the other 6×12-inch half. Once baked and cut in half you have two 3×12-inch sections which are cut into 1×3-inch cookies.

    Simply amazing! I’ve made three batches this Christmas; they are a HUGE hit! I spread a very thin layer of raspberry jam on top of the butter for my third batch; it added a nice layer of additional flavor. This recipe is as keeper!?

    These are deserving of “high tea” and I sure tasted them the entire time I was reading the recipe. Because I’m Swedish, there’s coffee with an egg thrown in along with your almond cookie that warms my heart. My mom used a similar dough rolled out with almond paste and kept it in a whole piece (like a coffee cake.) I can’t wait to try these! Thank you.

    These look fabulous. Does anyone know if the cookies freeze well? I think they would be okay to freeze, but I’ve never tried freezing cookies with almond paste before. I like to bake a little bit ahead for my holiday cookie trays since I don’t have time to bake everything at once!

    Years ago, I went to a church function and there was a dessert buffet table. I grabbed a cookie that looked just like these. It was love at first sight. I’m a marzipan addict, and I kept filching more of those cookies. I wish I could have found the baker who brought them, because I would’ve begged for the recipe. I think I found it! It’s past Christmas, but that won’t stop me. Thank you!

      December 16, 2015 at 6:12 am

      I have not tested freezing the dough Jo – but if I was going to try, I think I would mix the dough, form it into a small square, wrap it tightly and freeze. Once thawed you can then roll it out and continue with the recipe. It really comes together quickly so it’s not time consuming to make. If you make the entire recipe then freeze before baking that might work too – I just can’t say since I have not tried that. Good luck! Either way I think you will love these – they are so good 🙂

    I love these cookies!! The cream cheese dough is so good. I’ve never had a cookie like this but I won’t be able to say that very long!

    Congratulations on your new grandbaby girls to come. All grandchildren are a blessing, but let’s face it – there are way more cute clothes for grandmas to have fun buying for little girls 😉 Love, love these! Almond is such a great flavour and even better with butter and sugar!

    I am so happy for you, Tricia! Those babies are going to be so very loved!! My weakness for almond desserts is in overdrive today, because it’s all I can do not to go try these cars this morning. Pure heaven!

    I am liking these! I make a simple almond sugar cake that is similar, but it isn’t these. Can’t wait to try them. And that tree? And those stockings? And adding two more? You are blessed Tricia!

    I loved what you said about these cookies and kids! haha! I totally get it. These cookies look and sound amazing! It’s the kind of “secret” recipe I think of when I think of special treats at the holidays in general that we don’t see often. I’ve never had these but I love the filling and all the almond goodness. So good with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate!
