BEST PALEO CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (KETO, VEGAN OPTION)
Ingredients
* 1 cup cashew butter * See notes
* 2/3 cup granulated sweetener of choice ** See notes
* ½ tsp baking soda
* 1 vegan egg *** See notes
* ½ cup chocolate chips of choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all your ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, and mix until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold through the chocolate chips.
- Using your hands, form 12 balls of dough. Place them on the lined baking tray, 2 inches apart. Gently press down into a slight cookie shape. Top with extra chocolate chips.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until just beginning to go golden around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
* You can substitute this for almond butter, peanut butter, sunflower seed butter, or tahini.
** Any granulated sweetener of choice works- Coconut sugar, brown sugar, white sugar, monk fruit sweetener (sugar free)
*** To keep it vegan/eggless, replace with 3-4 tablespoons of ground chia seed. Add 3 tablespoons first, and if too thin, add an extra tablespoon.
