Peanut Butter Balls Extrodinare

Ingredients

1/2 cup Vanilla Yougut
1/2 cup *Almond Butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups *all-purpose flour
One 12-ounce package semisweet chocolate pieces ( I used random chocolate)

1 Tbls Cream cheese
1 Tbls yougurt




DIRECTIONS


In a large mixing bowl beat the yogurt and almond butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.
Add the brown sugar and baking soda; beat till combined.
Beat in the egg and vanilla.
Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer.
I was able to beat all the whole wheat flour in the mixer
.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls.
Place balls 1 1/2 inches apart on greased cookie sheets.


Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or till cookies are set and lightly browned on the bottom.
Remove cookies from pan and cool on a rack.


In double boiler heat chocolate, cream cheese and yougurt over low heat till melted. Cool slightly.
Using a fork or skewer, dip peanut butter balls, one at a time, into chocolate mixture to coat.
Transfer to waxed paper lined cookie sheets. Chill till firm.
Store in a cool place.

*
( I roasted my own organic almond and ground them to make butter)

* I would add less flour and make smaller balls so that each ball has more chocolate
