chewy cashew cookies
These were the product of late-night Saturday cookie cravings when I realised that I had bought cashew butter instead of peanut butter at the grocery store! These cookies came out chewy, caramelly and oh-so cravable!
Ingredients
- 1 flax egg 1 tbsn flax seed and 2 tbsn water
- 113 grams vegan butter
- 70 grams cashew butter
- 110 grams brown sugar
- 26 grams sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 192 grams flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 176°C (350 °F) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the flour, baking soda and salt into a bowl and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk the non-vegan butter, cashew butter, sugars, vanilla and flax egg until whipped and creamy.
- Add in dry ingredients and mix until incorporated.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop 1 inch balls onto the prepared baking pan and use a fork to gently flatten each cookie into a criss-cross pattern and add cashews on cookies.
- Place on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes until slightly golden brown – do not overbake.
- Let cool for 10 minutes, then enjoy!
