Using a food processor, finely grind the almonds with 2 tbsp of the flour. Whisk together ground almonds with the rest of the flour, baking soda, spices and salt in a bowl; set aside. In a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add egg and cookie butter, mix until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add in flour mixture and mix until just moistened and combined.
