Low Carb Flourless Cashew Butter Cookies are your next favorite treat!
If you have a few minutes to spare, then you have to give this low-carb dessert a try! To make this delicious cookie in your very own kitchen, you only need a few basic ingredients that you probably already have in the pantry. You've likely heard of peanut butter cookies, but you'll quickly learn that cashew butter is where it's at! This cookie is the perfect combination of rich, creamy flavor packed into a soft bite-size treat. The surprising cashew flavor makes this cookie a little something special. You'll never settle for ordinary again once you take a single bite of this scrumptious low-carb recipe.
If you have never used cashew butter before, get ready to be amazed. It is creamier and more flavorful than peanut butter or almond butter and totally has it's own unique, delicious taste. You can find cashew butter pre-made in lots of grocery stores or specialty food stores. You can also find it online and order some right to your door. The cashew butter that you purchase already made should only have one or two ingredients on the label- cashews and sometimes oil. However, it should never have any added sugars or sweeteners, making it totally keto-friendly.
If you can't find cashew butter for sale, you can easily make your own. Simply place whole cashews in a food processor and pulse until a smooth butter appears. Scrape the sides of the food processor several times to make sure you get all the pieces blended nicely. The smoother you can get the cashew butter, the smoother your cookies will be! If you do make your own cashew butter, make some extra to spread on some keto crackers- you're going to love it!
Of course, low-carb foodies love flourless options. This recipe requires zero flour, but the result is still the same cookie texture we all know and love. You won't even miss it! It also means that this delicious recipe is gluten-free making these cookies accessible for even more people! These are the perfect cookie to bring to a party or to offer at your next gathering.
Once you've combined all the basic ingredients, it only takes 8 minutes to bake to golden perfection. Who doesn't love their house smelling like freshly baked cookies? You are definitely going to want to eat one right when it comes out of the oven- warm cookies are the best! This recipe is so simple to make you can literally whip it up anytime you get the craving. No-fuss dessert solutions are all the rage and you'll definitely want to add this recipe to the top of the list.
