Why not give Santa some gluten free, low-cal cookies this year? Trust me, he'll be asking for these scrumptious cookies year round! I know a lot of people say, "tastes just like the real one", but seriously, these cookies are insanely delicious! The cashew butter makes then rich, savory and decadent and the chocolate chips balance out with the perfect sweetness! They are just crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle. And with only 5 ingredients they come together in minutes!
Cashew Chocolate Chip Cookies
What you'll need:
1 cup cashew butter {think peanut butter but with cashews}
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 egg
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
What you'll do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips. When blended, mix in the chocolate chips. Using your hands, form 1 1/2 inch balls and flatten into a pancake shape and place on an un-greased cookie sheet. Bake for 9 minutes. Let the cookies sit on the cookies sheet for about 30 seconds to 1 minute before letting cool on a wire rack.
I think they are yummiest warm, but still fabulous at room temp : )
If you like this recipe, you'll also love it made with peanut butter!
Leslie, these look delicious! I have some almond butter at home, i can make these cookies using that 🙂 Hope you are having a lovely holiday season… I was excited for a bit when the weather got cold but it seems to have warmed up again!
Right Roxan?! It’s suppose to be 83 this weekend! I guess I’m not making soup like I had planned.
And yes, almond butter would also be delicious with this recipe! I would do creamy though not crunchy.
my sister just became gluten free a few months ago, what a great idea!
OMG… I need to make these! They look amazing.
These look amazing, and since I have all the ingredients it looks like I will be making cookies this weekend!
