­­Remember how I told you I started driving again? Well that was like 6 months ago and I’ve literally driven twice since. And 50% of those times (translation: 1 time), I just drove around a parking lot for like half an hour.

Eek!! I’m a grown woman right? Why am I having all of this anxiety when it comes to driving again? Recap in case you missed it: when Erik and I moved to Minneapolis last year, I realized that I had to take the drivers exam all over again. Even though I already had a working drivers license (covered in cobwebs and all).

The kicker is that I’ve barely driven maybe 10 times since I got that license in high school. Blame living in big cities with awesome transportation systems that really did not call for/adamantly discouraged driving. I’m looking at you, San Francisco, Boston and etc. Yep, etc. 😉 I mean, who knows how Erik and I survived living in San Diego for two years without driving a car once.

Anywho, recently I realized that I’d better start getting super serious about driving again, or else I’m going to overthink it all and make it too big of a deal.

But, you know, once the winter, snow and any chance of snow or rain goes away again. You understand. 😉

In the meantime, I’m gonna focus on what I can do, and that’s baking, not driving. Lol. Are you ready to dive in to today’s recipe? Let’s do it!

Flourless Cashew Butter Cookies with Sea Salt + Chocolate Chips

From flourless cakes to flourless no bake treats to flourless cookies, there’s just something magical about flourless sweets. Like, no flour? No flour at all? Yep. These flourless cashew butter cookies are magically flourless, deliciously buttery and wonderfully dairy-free. Not to mention vegan, paleo and plant-based!

Add in a sparkle of coarse sea salt and melty, ooey, gooey vegan chocolate chips and you’re in business! The combo of soft, buttery flourless cashew butter cookies bursting with deliciously dense cashew butter flavor and chocolate morsels and savory pops of salt just delight.

The Easiest Flourless Vegan Cashew Butter Cookies

Even better? These flourless cashew butter cookies are so easy to make, with just 4 ingredients for the vegan cashew butter cookie dough base and two ingredients for the extras (vegan chocolate chips and sea salt).

Just 6 Ingredients for Delicious Vegan Cashew Butter Cookies

  • Cashew Butter
  • Flax Eggs (a vegan egg substitute)
  • Coconut Sugar
  • Baking Soda
  • Vegan Chocolate Chips
  • Sea Salt

Recommended Tools for the Best Vegan Cashew Butter Cookies

  • Golden Ground Flaxseed – my go-to vegan egg replacement ingredient. All you have to do is stir together the flaxseed and water and you’ve got a vegan substitute for eggs in baking! 🙂 Learn How to Make a Flax Egg here.
  • Cashew Butter – nothing easier than buying a jar of cashew butter. This one’s my fave because there’s nothing added and it’s creamy & natural. If you want it 100% homemade, learn how to make homemade cashew butter. It’s fun and easier than you think!
  • Vegan Chocolate Chips or Sugar Free Chocolate Chips – two of my favorite chocolate chips to use in healthy vegan baking. One is perfect for vegan recipes, the other (still vegan) is great for keto recipes, or for when I need ALL the chocolate and want to keep my sugar intake down.
  • Medium Cookie Scoop – the best, sturdiest cookie scoop on the planet. And I’ve made 1,000s and 1,000s of cookies!
  • Coconut Sugar – this refined sugar-free, plant-based sweetener leaves a sweet, caramel-like taste in your baked goods. Absolutely my favorite sweetener to date. 🙂

So you’ll totally let me drive you around town sometime, right? Riiiiiiight? Lol! I just had to put my “generous” offer out there. While we both nervously laugh and breathe a sigh of relief that that’s not happening, let’s make all of the flourless vegan cashew butter cookies! Just so you know, I truly appreciate you stopping by and trying out these yummy vegan recipes together. 🙂 Can’t wait to hear what you think! ‘Til the next kitchen adventure…

Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter ❤️

Description

Salted Flourless Cashew Butter Cookies (V, GF): this vegan cashew butter cookies recipe creates soft, decadent flourless cashew butter cookies packed with chocolate & sea salt! Paleo, Dairy-Free, Plant-Based.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted creamy, natural cashew butter or homemade cashew butter
  • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon golden ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water, whisk together, set for 15 minutes)
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup vegan chocolate chips or sugar free chocolate chips

Topping

  • 3–4 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips or sugar free chocolate chips
  • Sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, add all ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Dot cookies with chocolate chips. Using a spoon, press down on cookie to flatten. Cookies will spread a bit. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  4. Bake for 10-14 minutes. Mine took 12 minutes. Transfer cookie sheet to cooling rack, and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes—do not remove from sheet for at least 20 minutes, as cookies are very soft and fragile. Then, if desired, transfer cookies directly onto the cooling rack to cool until completely cooled. If desired, sprinkle with more sea salt. After cooling, cookies will be firm, but still fragile and melt-in-your-mouth. Handle with care. Enjoy! Storing notes below.

    Hi there! I don’t have any flax, do you think I can use egg instead? I know they won’t be vegan, but I’m GF and DF so it still works! Thank you!

    Made these yesterday and they’re almost gone already – I was happily surprised at how perfect they were! Just wondering if the recipe would work with peanut butter too?
    Thanks 🙂

    This recipe actually made me cry it’s so good! Granted I just found out I’m allergic to eggs and almonds and with a gluten sensitivity to boot, so it’s been really hard to find things to bake. And we are all trapped in our houses of course so to find something I could bake and enjoy? Tears. I cannot wait to try so many more of your recipes and give any feedback I can on subs since not being able to use almond meal has presented most of my problems thus far. Obviously this one didn’t need any changes and it’s so quick and easy! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
