I love how these cookies prove that you do not need a long list of pantry staples to make something delicious. They rely entirely on the natural goodness of cashews and a little sweetener to create a snack that hits the spot whenever those afternoon cravings kick in.

Since there is no flour or butter involved, they are naturally light and satisfy that need for a crispy, chewy bite. My best advice is to keep a close eye on the oven because they turn golden brown quite fast.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw cashews
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Place the cashews into a food processor and pulse until they reach a fine, crumb like consistency.

  3. 3

    Add the maple syrup or honey to the processor and pulse again until the mixture turns into a thick, sticky dough.

  4. 4

    Scoop small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, then place them on your prepared baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Press each ball down gently with the palm of your hand or a fork to flatten them slightly.

  6. 6

    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.

  7. 7

    Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before serving, as they will firm up while they sit.

💡 Tips

Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you like a bit of extra crunch, try adding a tiny pinch of sea salt on top before you bake them.
