Cashew butter chocolate chip cookies (vegan, GF)

March 2, 2018 By travellingoven 2 Comments

I’m sorry for being a bit silent here on the blog lately but there has been a lot going on and I’ve been really busy with different projects, both work related and private. But I appreciate so much every one of you who take the time to stop by, read my recipes and try out some of them, look at the photos, read my stories, comment and write to me, thank you with all my heart and it means more than I can express with words!

Last two weeks I spent in my hometown Dubrovnik and I had super busy schedule with very little time to rest and relax. I did however manage to have few lovely coffee & chat dates with my friends and some great time with my parents so it’s great that even in the busiest of days and among all the stress, we can (and have to!) still find the time for our loved ones and at the end of the day, for ourself. As I came back to Zagreb I had to start in full work mode straight away as I’m busy organizing my first (!!!) Food Photography workshop with my colleague Natalie and there is still so much to do. But I don’t want to complain as it’s all super exciting and I just LOVE what I do sooooo much that it’s ok to be totally tired from time to time. There are always cookies to save the day, right?! 😀

cashew butter chocolate chip cookies, vegan and gluten-free

Anyway, what I wanted to tell you is that when I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything, I usually bake cookies! It help me to calm down and than there is nothing better than hide for a little while on the sofa under the blanket and have a cup of tea and some homemade cookies. Who is with me? 🙂 For that exact reason as soon as I came back home after being away for two weeks, I baked these cashew butter chocolate chip cookies and I wasn’t even planning on posting them on the blog (but rather just to eat them and take some photos) but they are so good that I just had to share them with you!

They are ‘melt in your mouth’ good and made with healthy ingredients too, there is absolutely no flour in them so they are naturally gluten-free and I made them egg-free for the reason that I didn’t get to go do my groceries yet that day and didn’t have any eggs in the fridge. You will need only few ingredients for these and I’m sure you will like them because:

  • they are yummy, slightly chewy and ‘melt in your mouth’ good
  • they are also made with healthy ingredients and actually good for you
  • these cookies are vegan and gluten-free
  • refined sugar-free as they are sweetened with coconut sugar
  • very easy to make and baked in 10 minutes
  • you need only one bowl when making them (so less dirty dishes to wash!)

Hope you’ll try these out and if you do, please let me know how you like them, I always love hearing from you! Also, don’t forget to sign up to mu blog if you don’t want to miss and new posts and subscribe to my newsletter (on the blog’s homepage)! Have a great day everyone and now let’s have some cookies if you agree! 🙂

Author: Lili
Recipe type: Cookies
Serves: 15-16 cookies
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup (250 g) creamy cashew butter, unsalted
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 flax or chia 'egg' (1 tbsp ground flax or chia seeds + 3 tbsp water, mix and leave for few minutes)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or ½ tsp vanilla powder
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ cup dark chocolate, chopped (I used 70% cacao)
  • Note: 1 cup = 250 ml
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 175 C / 350 F. Line large baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Prepare flax or chia 'egg' by mixing 1 tbsp ground flax or chia seeds + 3 tbsp water and leaving for few minutes.
  3. In a larger mixing bowl combine cashew butter and coconut sugar and mix using electric mixer for few minutes until creamy and well combined.
  4. Stir in flax or chia 'egg', vanilla, salt and baking soda.
  5. Finally stir in chopped dark chocolate.
  6. Using your hands make small dough balls, place them on the baking tray leaving enough space between as they will spread when baking.
  7. Bake for 10 -12 minutes. Don't over-bake, they should still be rather soft when you remove them from the oven but will firm up when cooled.
  8. Leave to cool completely before storing in airtight container. Enjoy!

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy

Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I lov Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I love its sweet and rich taste and aroma, almonds, lemon and orange zest, Maraschino liqueur...🧡
It is believed that this dessert was served for the first time in 1177 to the Pope Alexander III on the occasion of the blessing of the Rab Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary. One hundred years ago this unique Rab dessert was made by nuns in the monastery of St. Anthony of Padua, while some time later also in the Benedictine monastery of St. Andrew. The original and at the same time secret recipe was only known to a few of the Rab women. Even today it is known to only a few and it's made on especially festive occasions...
