Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup shortening
  • 1/3 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

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

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.
