I used a recipe for butter balls, but I replaced the butter with coconut oil. They turned out as flat cookies rather than balls, but they're really good. I didn't tell my dad they were vegan until after he ate one. He was truly surprised because they're so yummy.

Ingredients

6	T coconut oil
1/2	cup powdered sugar
1/8	t canola oil
1/8	t salt
1	T vanilla extract (almond is better)
3/4	c. flour
1/4	cup chopped almonds

Directions

cream the coconut oil, canola oil, and powdered sugar.
add salt, almond extract, flour, and almonds.
cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 1 hour.
preheat oven to 300 and grease cookie sheet with coconut oil.
bake for 35-40 minutes.
fill a tea-strainer with powdered sugar and sift over the cookies as soon as you take them out of the oven.
