Instructions

For the Cashew Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick silicone baking mats.
  2. Combine all cookie ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer on low to medium speed to blend until smooth.
  3. Use a cookie scoop to portion out even-sized balls of batter. No need to press down, as the batter will “settle” on its own.
  4. Bake for 17 minutes at 350°F.
  5. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool completely while still on the baking sheet.

For the Cacao Frosting

  1. In a small bowl, stir together all the frosting ingredients until smooth.
  2. Using a silicone spatula, portion and spread the frosting on top of the cookies.

Notes

  • TIP: Be sure to use a mixer as opposed to simply stirring with a spoon or you’ll end up with chunky cookies.
  •  
  • *By “runny almond butter” I’m referring to the top of the jar where the oil sits versus the hardened part at the end of the container. You can stir a bit so that it’s not ALL oil, but try to get the more liquid part of the almond butter to ensure that your frosting is a smooth consistency.
