Salted Cashew Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips – Ingredients

• 1 cup cashew butter (creamy, unsweetened)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt (plus extra for sprinkling)
• 1/4 cup vegan white chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup vegan dark chocolate chips

Salted Cashew Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips – Instructions

Preheat your oven: to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cashew butter, sugar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt.

Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in the white and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Shape the cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one. Gently flatten each ball with your hand or a fork.

Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. They may appear soft in the center, but they will firm up as they cool.

Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for an extra burst of flavor.
