Categories: Cookies

Yield: 10 servings

2 Bananas

1/2 md Orange; juice only

Orange; grated rind only

1 1/4 c Ground almonds

1/4 c Blanched almonds

1 1/4 tb Plain cocoa

Chop the bananas into a large bowl and using a potato masher, mash them

until they are smooth. Mix in the orange juice and rind. Stir in the

ground almonds, mixing well to blend evenly. Place the mixture in a

refrigerator and chill for approximately 30 minutes.

Using a sharp knife, finely chop the blanched almonds into small

pieces. Mix the chopped almonds into the cocoa powder, and place on a flat

plate. Remove the banana mixture from the refrigerator, and divide into 10

portions. Roll each portion into a small ball, using lightly floured hands.

Roll each ball into the cocoa and almond mixture, rolling each one evenly

to give a good coating. Press gently before placing into a small paper

cases, and chilling once again.
