These crispy, crunchy, buttery and salty cashew cookies pair perfectly with coffee for an afternoon treat or ice cream for dessert!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw cashews, toasted
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour, almond flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, pulse the cashews until they becomes a medium-fine gravel like texture.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the egg yolk and mix well. Stir in the cashews, flour, vanilla and salt until well blended.
  3. Lay out 2 pieces of plastic wrap and shape the dough into 2 logs, each about 1-inch in diameter. Tightly wrap the dough in plastic and chill in the freezer for at least an hour or up to 2 months.
  4. Heat the oven to 300°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice the cookie dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place onto the baking sheets about an inch apart, reshaping if necessary.
  5. Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown and set. Cool 1 minute on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
