Flourless Chocolate Cashew Butter Cookies

There are few things in life more satisfying than a warm cookie, and honestly, I think knowing that they’re gluten-free, vegan and refined sugar-free makes them even more satisfying. Eating these cookies is almost the equivalent of going to a yoga class: relaxing, good for the soul…. the definition of self-care right there. I haven’t tried hard enough to know for sure, but I think if you eat enough of these you’ll become an Olympic athlete. Again, don’t quote me on that, but it’s probable.

In short, if you’re looking for a healthy, delicious, easy to make cookie, this is it.

Can I use something other than cashew butter?

Absolutely! Use almond or peanut butter if your little heart desires–but just know that cashew butter is superior to all other nut butter and you reaaaally need to have these with cashew butter at least once. Whatever nut butter you use, just make sure it doesn’t have any sugars or other oils–get the good stuff that’s just nuts and salt.

Ingredients you’ll need to make Chocolate Cashew Butter Cookies:

The best part about these cookies? They hardly need any ingredients! Just a few gluten-free shelf staples and you’ve got a delicious batch of chocolate cookies waiting for you to devour.
Coconut oil: I like to add a bit of softened coconut oil to keep a slightly moist texture
Eggs: use room temp eggs for best results
Creamy cashew butter: the magical unicorn ingredient! You can also use almond or peanut butter if your little heart desires.
Coconut sugar: I get mine at Trader Joes
Unsweetened cocoa powder: Good ol classic cocoa powder like Hershey’s (again.. I get mine at TJ’s)
Baking soda
Dark chocolate chips: these are totally optional, but can you go wrong with extra chocolate?
Course sea salt: get the fancy stuff for topping

Tips for storing leftover cookies:

In the unlikely event that you have leftover cookies, you can keep these in a sealed Tupperware container in the fridge for up to a week or put them in the freezer. They also make amazing ice cream sandwiches if you have some vegan ice cream sitting around!
