These cookies made with teff flour and cashew butter are soooo good. I have made these once before - and they were delicious, and because they're small, you can have two or three and not feel guilty about it. These cookies are a riff of this recipe I found.
They bake for only 15 minutes, and brown evenly. One batch makes A LOT - so this would be great for bake sales or cookie swaps.
They have just the right amount of sweetness using maple syrup.
They crunch slightly, they don't crumble - they hold together real well.
I doubled up about two cookies to make four bigger ones. I will make some dairy free ice cream this weekend and make ice cream sandwiches for me - yum!
To get started, first you have to make your cashew butter. Of course you can buy cashew butter in the store, but why would you do that when it's so expensive? Plus you don't know how long it's been sitting on the store shelf and in a warehouse before delivery.
Raw cashews are cheap, especially if you can buy them in bulk. This recipe takes no time to make and you have fresh cashew butter. You can add a sweetener if not using it in a recipe, but for cookies, I like to leave them unsweetened. My recipe makes the perfect amount of cashew butter for these cookies. I followed this recipe to make my cashew butter. I've done this many times with sunflower seeds, and they turned out great.
After making the butter, just follow the recipe to make the cookies - it is that easy. All the ingredients for these cookies can be found at a natural food store or any store that sells dried food in bulk. You could also find these in a regular grocery store.
