Nutty No Flour Cookies

Soft and chewy, packed with nutty goodness and peanut butter chips these cookies are sure to fix any sweet tooth craving. This cookie can be made in so many ways. Feel free to use almond meal and almond butter instead. Maybe some chocolate chips? 

Trader Joe's comes out with Peanut Butter chips during the holidays. These are seasonal and it makes me so sad. We should start a petition to get these year round, just sayin' 

I love working with cashew meal as it gives your baked goods a light nutty flavor while keeping them soft and moist. I can't eat almonds, so I like to use cashew meal. I used to make my own but it got way too expensive and my food processor broke in the move to Portland. Fear not! Trader Joe's came out with "just cashew meal" and for $4.99 a bag, I'm in!
