The Spicy Spatula

Cue eyeroll, right?

Maybe not, but whenever I say things like ‘cashew butter’ or ‘almond butter’ all of my non-vegan, non-special diet people start rolling their eyes at my “made up” stuff. But seriously, have you tried cashew butter? It’s like all the deliciousness of peanut butter but leveled up because CLEARLY cashew nuts are superior.

Oops, I mean I like them better.

Right?

*Shrugs*

Anyway my husband bought a literal vat of cashew butter and asked just one thing, to make some of my super delicious vegan peanut butter cookies (Chewy Cookies or Quick Cookies), but with cashew butter. I said sure, but I delayed and delayed because my booty is getting smaller and my thighs said “Hell no, girl, don’t do it!”

But I’m pretty fond of him so (eventually) I got around to it.

The good news? You can literally just swap out the peanut butter for the cashew butter. BUT you have to be a little careful because the cashew butter we have is more like tahini, thicker even with the oil and I think it requires a bit more finesse than it’s peanut cousin.

The bad news? They are just as delicious so if you’re like my Hubs and you struggle with controlling yourself around sweets, well you’re in trouble. Or maybe not, just make 6 or 12. Not 27.
