Vegan, makes about 40 cookies

Preheat the oven to 190°C (top/bottom heat). Beat the margarine with both sugars until fluffy. Add the scraped seeds from the vanilla bean and the pudding powder. Combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl and stir into the previous mixture. The batter will seem very crumbly, but it makes wonderful cookies. Add the almonds and chopped chocolate (or chocolate chunks or drops, if you prefer) to the batter and stir until it is no longer too crumbly. Form the dough into about 40 balls and place them on two baking sheets, leaving space between them. Bake on the second rack from the bottom for about 15 minutes, until the edges are nicely browned. The baking time varies from oven to oven. Stored in a tin, they will keep for about 2 weeks.
