-
1 cup almond butter
-
1 cup packed brown sugar

⅔ cup shortening
-
⅓ cup vegan margarine
-
1 overripe banana, mashed
-
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

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
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Mix almond butter, brown sugar, shortening, and margarine together in a bowl until creamy. Stir in mashed banana.
-
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.

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.
