Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 36 servings

  • 1 cup almond butter

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • cup shortening

  • cup vegan margarine

  • 1 overripe banana, mashed

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon water, or as needed (Optional)

  • 3 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 36 whole blanched almonds (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Mix almond butter, brown sugar, shortening, and margarine together in a bowl until creamy. Stir in mashed banana.

  3. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir into almond butter mixture. Stir in water if dough appears too thick. Fold in dark chocolate.

  4. Pour white sugar onto a shallow dish. Form dough into 1-inch balls and roll in sugar. Arrange 2 inches apart on baking sheets; flatten with a fork. Top each cookie with an almond.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cook's Note:

To blanch almonds: Place almonds in boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and squeeze them out of their skins.
