Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Cashew butter
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped cashews
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, cashew butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix well until fully incorporated.
Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, and stir again to combine evenly.
Fold in the chopped cashews and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, form small balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently press down on each ball of dough with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your soft and chewy cashew and peanut butter gluten-free cookies!
