Easy grain-free Salted Cashew Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies with salty dark chocolate chunks. Ready with 6 ingredients in 15 minutes!

Salted Cashew Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Hi guys!

Well, here we are again.

You, me, and the first cookie of 2019.

You’ve been so good eating all the veggies this new year that I thought you could use some cookies in your inbox.

Clean cookies, though, don’t worry, I didn’t drop them on the floor.

They’re grain-free, gluten free, and oil free boasting the irresistible combination of sweet and salty.

Oh, what was that, you’re too busy to bake because you’re killing your new years goals and intentions?

Don’t be salty, these Salted Cashew Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies are ready with 6 ingredients in 15 minutes!

Get it.

Salted Cashew Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

If you’re reading this, I bet you’re already obsessed with these cookies because, hello, cashew butter and chocolate.

Two of my favorite things in life.

Salted Cashew Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

In case you’re on the fence, let me just say these morsels are moist, chewy, nutty, chocolate-y, and perfectly sweet.

These cookies are adapted from my Flourless Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies (check these out, too!).

I love this cookie recipe template because it’s packed with whole foods without the addition of gluten, refined sugars, or oils.

Salted Cashew Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

The cookie batter has a rich cashew butter and an almond flour base that’s naturally sweetened with maple syrup.

If you don’t have cashew butter, I highly recommend grabbing some for this recipe!

I love the subtle tastes of the cashew butter that really lets the chocolate shine.

To make them without cashew butter, try subbing another nut butter for similar results.

The almond flour can be swapped out with oat flour as an alternative, but I love the intense moisture the almond flour gives the cookie base.

Salted Cashew Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

To be honest, I’ve never really gotten those sweet and salty snack-y cravings.

You know, the whole eating a bag of chips then chocolate chip cookies then hand back in the chips type of situation.

However, when you smash them together, I get it, it makes sense.

Hu Kitchen Dark Salty Bar, you are perfect in your salty sweetness.

I love the way the hint of sea salt draws out the sweetness of the chocolate in these rich dark cacao bars!

Chop them up in big chunks for inclusion in this recipe and watch them melt in rough rectangles.

I kept the mix-ins simple here, but these cookies would be great with crushed walnuts or your favorite nut of choice for some extra texture and crunch.

They store well at room temperature for several days and can be refrigerated/frozen for long term storage.

I’m thinking a few in the freezer might not be such a bad idea, if you can manage to set a few aside…

Salted Cashew Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Enjoy these Salted Cashew Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies as an easy every day cookie recipe.

It’s one of those classic cookie recipes that’s good for any occasion and any crowd.

They’re great with a tall glass of almond milk while they’re still melty and warm.

The combo of salty and sweet makes it hard (read: impossible) to eat just one.

Try topping them with a pinch of sea salt and more dark chocolate chunks before baking for aesthetics and flavor.

Happy baking!

Description

Easy grain-free Salted Cashew Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies with salty dark chocolate chunks. Ready with 6 ingredients in 15 minutes!


Ingredients

  • 1 flax egg (1 TBSP flaxseed + 3 TBSP filtered water)
  • 1 1/4 cup almond flour (can sub 1/4 cup for vanilla protein powder, if desired)
  • 1 cup oil-free creamy cashew butter
  • generous 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 heaping cup of Hu Kitchen Salty Dark Chocolate bar, chopped
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Himalayan sea salt flakes, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium size bowl, whisk together your flax egg and allow to gel for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Next, add the almond flour, baking powder, cashew butter, and maple syrup, and mix well to combine.
  4. Fold in the chopped chocolate and mix well.
  5. (OPTIONAL) Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for dough the firm up. You can skip this step if you’re in a hurry- I usually do with success!
  6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop the dough into ~1.5 – 2 TBS balls onto the parchment paper. Flatten slightly with your hands. Top the cookies with additional chocolate chunks and Himalayan sea salt, if desired.
  7. Bake the cookies for 14-15 minutes or until they’re golden brown underneath and slightly brown around the edges. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool set before eating. Cookies will appear soft and undercooked when first removed from the oven and will firm up after cooling.
  8. Store leftover cookies in the refrigerator for 5-7 days and freeze them for longterm storage.
