Mini Cashew Cookies

Mini Cashew CookiesNut butters are great for making baked goods and sauces.

I love the sweet, mellow taste of cashews, but I choose low fat peanut butter for this recipe to lighter up the fat content and because it’s easy to find.

Makes 4 dozen cookies

  1. My next cookie to make
    Looks delicious

  2. I made these on Saturday 3/7 for the kid next door. They absolutely loved them. They only left me crumbs. I let their mother know that the cookies were healthy and she was surprised because her children never liked anything healthy. I gave her the recipe and the website.

    Some substitutions I made on the 2nd batch. I used almond butter and added unsweetened coconut s (shredded). Kind of tasted like a toasted almond drink.

    Thanks a lot Jen for another great recipe.

    PS this 2nd batch was for me.

  3. Hello 🙂

    I Live in the UK, and I’m not sure which brand of Margerine/Butter is Trans-fat free.

    Do you have a suggestion for a brand I can use, or an alternative in the recipe if I cannot get the trans-fat free margerine?

    Many thanks indeed for this wondeful site! My adventure to healthy eating has finally begun.

    I Look forward replies,

    • Hi Natasja!

      That’s a great question. I wish I knew more about the products in your neck of the woods but there is a way to tell if margarine contains trans-fat. Be sure to look at the ingredients list on the margarine package. Anything listed as “hydrogenated” is a sign that it has trans-fat. Butter doesn’t contain trans-fat but it is high in saturated fat, which raises cholesterol levels, so that’s why I call for the trans-fat free margarine,

  4. Thank you very much for your speedy reply 🙂

    I will go to the Supermarket today and spend some time in the Dairy section. I really want to find the best low-fat brand I can.

    I’m always worried that once margerine is heated during baking, that it becomes Hydrogenated fat. This is urban myth from what I can tell and from my searches on Wikipedia. Would you agree on this matter?

    Thank you Skinny Chef! And thank you for your help and wonderful recipes 🙂
