Chocolate Cookies with Cashew Butter

Our healthier chocolate cookies are flour-free, giving them a gooey texture and freeing them

from the inflammation and bloating that refined gluten-containing grains can cause. Gluten is one of the allergens removed during our cleanse, and if you find you are sensitive to gluten, you may choose to keep it out of your diet post-cleanse. You will also find once you try these cookies and other flour-free treats you don’t even miss it.

Healthy Grain Free Chocolate Cookies with Cashew Butter

Ingredients

1 cup raw cashew butter
1 cup coconut palm sugar, plus more for topping
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
2 eggs (eggs are not approved on the Clean Program)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place all ingredients in a mixer or large bowl. Start mixing on low, slowly increasing speed until all ingredients are smooth and well-combined.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough, and smooth between hands into even balls, keeping a couple inches of space between each ball of dough.

Use a fork to lightly press dough into flatter discs.

Sprinkle each cookie with more coconut palm sugar.

Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes. Let cool on a rack for 10 minutes before serving (if you can).
