Paleo Chocolate Chunk Cashew Butter Cookies

April 6, 2017 by Leah Goldglantz

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

The most delicious paleo chocolate chunk cashew butter cookies! They’re perfectly crispy on the edges and soft on the inside. They’re free of dairy, gluten and refined sugar too!

Paleo Chocolate Chunk Cashew Butter Cookies 778x1024 - Paleo Chocolate Chunk Cashew Butter Cookies

Hello my friends!! Today I introduce to you the BEST cookie I’ve ever baked! I’m not just saying that – these babies are my new obsession! I’ve been having one for dessert every night since they came out of the oven. You would never believe that they’re free of dairy, gluten, grains and refined sugar.  I seriously savor each and every bite of these little cookies.

These paleo cookies are perfectly crispy around the edges and are so soft and moist on the inside. My husband is not a fan of anything ‘paleo’ or ‘vegan’ and just wants the real deal for dessert. However, I even fooled him with these cookies! He’s equally as obsessed with them as I am and still doesn’t believe that they’re only made with cashew butter, honey, egg, paleo baking flour, cinnamon, baking soda, pink sea salt. I recommend using these chocolate chips – this chocolate is dairy-free and sweetened with coconut sugar, so I really love them!

If you love the taste of cashew butter and honey then you’re going to love these as much as I do!

Ingredients needed for these cookies:

  • creamy cashew butter: the cashew butter you use MUST be really creamy. I recommend the one I linked to. I also like the 365 by Whole Foods brand creamy cashew butter!
  • egg
  • honey (or can use maple syrup): these are both paleo-approved natural sweeteners. I prefer honey for this recipe.
  • paleo baking flour: I highly recommend using the exact brand that I linked to. If you want to substitute this then I recommend using 1 cup of finely blanched almond flour – I love the one that I linked to!
  • cinnamon: I love the warming flavor that the cinnamon gives these cookies!
  • baking soda: helps these cookies rise a bit while baking.
  • salt: gives these cookies that perfect ‘sweet n salty’ flavor.
  • chocolate chips: If strict paleo make sure you use paleo-approved chocolate chips like the ones that I linked to.
You MUST bake these perfectly chewy and delicious Paleo Chocolate Chunk Cashew Butter Cookies! Click To Tweet

  • Author: Leah Goldglantz
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 12 minutes
  • Total Time: 34 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cookies 1x
  • Category: Dessert
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup creamy cashew butter
  • 1 pasture-raised egg
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup finely blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Add the wet ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix until combined.
  3. Add the dry ingredients into a separate bowl and mix until combined.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) into the wet ingredients and mix until a dough is formed. It may be a little wet. Next stir in the chocolate chips.
  5. Roll the dough into 12 little balls and place onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Alternatively, you can use an ice cream scooper to scoop the dough onto the cookie sheet. Please note that the dough will be a bit sticky / wet – that’s how it’s supposed to be!
  6. Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and place the cookie sheet on a wire rack to cool. Allow to cool completely before touching the cookies.
  8. Use a spatula to remove the cookies from the cookie sheet once completely cooled.

Notes

The dough will be sticky – this is normal. If it’s way too wet and sticky you can add another tbsp of almond flour.

Keep the cookies stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

    These look awesome! Can I use coconut flour or another alternative instead of the paleo flour?

      Yes you can, but not sure if it will be the exact same amount, so start with 1/2 cup and add more if it’s too wet.

Creamy chia pudding with all the toppings - love t Creamy chia pudding with all the toppings - love this for a satisfying breakfast! Chia seeds are packed with fiber and most of us don’t get enough fiber in our diets...

To make the chia pudding: in a blender add 1 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup chia seeds & 1/2 ripe banana (the banana is optional, but I love that it naturally sweetens it & makes it nice and creamy. Blend then pour into a jar and refrigerate overnight (or for at least an hour). Add desired toppings. I love fresh berries, grain-free granola & hemp seeds. Love some almond butter drizzled on top too!

1 tbsp almond butter

I remember about two years ago I had a cough that I remember about two years ago I had a cough that was lingering so I went to a doctor that I had never been to before just to get checked out and make sure everything was okay. The doctor spent under 5 minutes with me, barely checked me out and almost immediately wrote me a prescription for an antibiotic. I was questioning why I was taking an antibiotic and he didn’t really take the time to explain and rushed off to another patient. I trusted my gut instinct that I didn’t need an antibiotic (I am definitely open to taking them was necessary), and 5 days later my cough went away on its own. I could dive deeper into this, but wanted to share that I am so glad I have found a doctor that spends adequate time with me - whenever I need - for as long as I need. You deserve that!! We all deserve that. 

I’m so lucky to be in such great hands with @steadymd - they’re an online doctor that’s available via an app on your phone and you can reach out with anything anytime! I spent over an hour last week on the phone with my functional MD going over bloodwork. All of my questions were thoroughly answered. A functional MD is the best fit for ME (my doc takes a whole person approach to health & understands things like training, recovery & nutrition), but whats so great is SteadyMD matches you with a doctor that aligns with YOU and your specific medical needs, diet, lifestyle and goals, not just someone who's local based on a quick quiz you take! 

SteadyMD is so convenient and refreshing and is EXACTLY what I've been looking for in a doctor. Plus it's super convenient - No co-pays. No waiting rooms. Just unlimited access to a doctor who “gets” you.

Click the link in my bio or visit steadymd.com/leahsplate to get started. 

Thank you so much to SteadyMD for partnering on this post! I’m so grateful to partner with a company I believe in so much 🤍
