Delicious and easy, this recipe for Cashew Butter Cookies is a must-try! The natural flavors of vanilla and cashew shine through, and these cookies are a melt-in-your-mouth protein treat!
The first time I made these cookies, I rolled the dough into balls and flattened them into cookies. Easy! I think I made 9 cookies that way. For my 2nd batch I used a cookie cutter, and the recipe made 15 cookies. So I'm making one serving of these Cashew Butter Cookies equal to â…“ of the recipe, however many cookies that makes for you.

Notes
A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture when baked, I would not try substituting different types of protein powders (other than rice and/or pea) in this recipe. (See my Recipe Basics video for examples of what goes wrong when you use the wrong protein powder.)
