Nut 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.

My next cookie to make
Looks delicious
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.
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,
Nats
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,
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 🙂
