Servings: 16 cookies

Ingredients:

Shortbread cookies

• 1 ¾ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour mix
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 cup margarine, cold

Praline

• ⅓ cup Elan Organic Raw Almonds, roughly chopped
• ½ cup almond butter
• ¼ cup maple syrup

Chocolate coating

• ½ cup vegan 70% dark chocolate chips

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 350 °F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, margarine, and sugar with a large fork, until crumbly. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper while the dough rests.
3. To shape the cookies, take 2 tbsp of dough and form a small disk. Repeat 16 times. Press a finger into the center of each cookie and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Bake cookies for 40-45 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheet.
4. To make praline, place almond butter and maple syrup in a microwave-safe bowl, heat for 45 seconds in a microwave and stir to combine. Spoon the mixture in the wells of the cookies. Top with chopped almonds and set for 30 minutes.
5. Melt the chocolate in a microwave and pour onto a plate. Dip the base of each cookie into the chocolate and rest on the wired rack to set.
