One of my all time favorite cookies to make are peanut butter cookies. There’s only four ingredients and they turn out perfect every time. Now a days, there are a lot of popular nut butters on the shelves like almond and cashew. So, I thought I would use the same recipe as my peanut butter cookies and use cashew butter instead. Have you tried any of them?
I have made my own homemade peanut butter before and next on my list is cashew butter. For this recipe I used Jif. Cashew butter is a lot softer than peanut butter, so the consistency is slightly smoother. The cookies are delicious! Oh my goodness…you can really taste the cashews. I can honestly say cashews are my favorite nuts and these might be my new favorite cookie.
- 1 cup cashew butter. You can use creamy or crunchy. I prefer creamy.
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with non- stick cooking spray
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cashew butter, sugar, egg and vanilla. Stir well with a spatula or spoon
- Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts
- Place the balls on the greased cookie sheet. With a fork, dipped in the sugar to prevent sticking, press a crisscross design on each cookie
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes
- Remove from oven and sprinkle the cookies with sugar
- Cool Slightly before removing from pan

I can’t wait to try baking these – they look so simple with so few ingredients. I think I have that kind of cashew butter too but it may be the crunchy kind. I too have been wanting to make my own cashew butter – I made almond butter a couple of weeks ago and it was the best I have ever had and only had 2 ingredients. Thanks for the cookie recipe – pinned.
