HEALTHY CASHEW BUTTER COOKIES

This recipe is a little twist on the ever popular Peanut Butter cookie.

Although most of us eat Cashews whether topping a dish or plain as a snack; people don’t generally bake with it. I was inspired to create this recipe because as a family, we eat a lot of things made with peanut butter. Peanut butter is delicious, but I was looking for a fresh taste, something different than what we have been eating.

Cashew butter can be found in most grocery stores. l like the Trader Joes brand. Make sure to look at the ingredients because just like peanut butter, the shelf carries cashew butter that contains added ingredients. We want to make sure that we are using pure cashew butter without any added ingredients to keep these cookies as healthy as possible.

Not only do these cookies have a fresh taste, they are also gluten-free and contain no refined sugars!Healthy Cashew Butter CookiesHealthy cashew butter cookies
