    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 ⅓ 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.)
