Chocolate Nut Cookies
These are damn tasty (excuse the language, kids). Very chocolaty and rich.
1 cup vegan margarine
1 cup unrefined, brown sugar
Equivalent to two eggs in egg replacer
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 1/4 cups unbleached white or whole wheat flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup whole, raw almonds
1/2 tsp vanilla
Beat margarine, sugar, egg replacer and vanilla together in a large bowl. Sift together the baking soda, flour, and cocoa powder, and gradually stir into the liquid mixture with a wooden spoon. Roll the dough in the palms of your hands to form walnut-sized balls, and flatten them to about 1″ thick. Press a whole almond into the centre of each cookie.
Preheat oven to 350 F and bake these cookies for 8-12 minutes. Don’t let them overcook! Cool on racks, and eat!
Makes about 30 cookies
