Every woman needs a brand new paleo recipe to make on a Friday evening or over the weekend to surprise family and friends with. In my case, I love an all ladies paleo friendly party night. I really believe these cashew chocolate chip cookies will be a hit no matter who you serve them to! I love to make cookies using nut butters. Cashew butter is just so creamy and light and bakes up so darn well.
Delicious and easy to make.
These cookies are terrific all alone or with any paleo ice cream. I can attest that kids LOVE these and introducing kids to healthy versions of flavors at an early age is really the way to an ideal start. Have children help in the kitchen while teaching them a bit of nutrition at the same time.
I love nuts.
No kids? No problem! Well, I personally love to have a girls night at my home. We all sit around baking and cooking and then eating, drinking and gobbling up what we made. These cookies are part of THAT plan. All just fun! Bring out the board games or a terrific movie. These paleo cookies and any of my other recipes can be used to dazzle any party up.
Have a blast and enjoy! Oh and if you’d like to get your hands on some more amazing chocolate/dessert recipes, check out my eBook called Decadent Chocolate & Cacao Recipes and Delights located on my eBook page.
Ready to eat and enjoy!
