Add the vanilla and egg and mix until creamy.
I get to control what goes in it and it saves me money. I like to make my own for obvious reasons. Cashew nut butter is not easily available commercially but I have seen it in speciality and wellness shops. My cashew nut butter is 100% ground up raw cashew nuts with absolutely nothing else added.
I hadn’t had any success in making nut butter in a regular food processor before so I cant say its possible even though the Internet says it is.
You can see the video and recipe on how to do it here. I made my own cashew nut butter in my amazing Greenis power blender. Cashew nuts are better than peanuts, and cashew but butter is better than peanut butter. If you were sitting on a plane and offered a bag of roasted peanuts or cashews – which would you take? Exactly. I also wanted to simplify things and use less cashew nut butter as its a more expensive ingredient than peanut butter and now these cashew nut butter cookies are my new favourite thing. I haven’t made a better one until today when I adapted it with cashew nut butter and played around with the ratios slightly. It’s the famous Joy of Cooking recipe and it’s pretty amazing. I had thought I found it with this recipe, which at one stage ranked really high on Google and got a lot of attention. I had been on the search for the best ever a peanut butter cookie recipe for the longest time.
