Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup vegan margarine (Earth Balance)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup almond flour
pinch of salt
1/2 cup pecan and walnuts, chopped
extra powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a large bowl, cream vegan margarine and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and almond extract and incorporate into the batter.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, almond flour, and salt.
Gently add the flour mixture to the margarine mixture, a little at a time, and finish by adding the chopped nuts.
Shape into 1 inch size balls, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 10 minutes.
Let cookies cool for 10-15 minutes or until cool enough to handle safely. Roll each cookie in powdered sugar and rest on a baking rack. Finally, give them another roll in the powdered sugar when the cookies are completely cooled. Store in an airtight container.
