Yesterday was national chocolate chip cookie day, and to celebrate I created a delicious cookie recipe with a twist.
I combined buttery cashew butter with sweet coconut sugar and rice flour to make a decedent gluten-free and vegan chocolate chip cookie! This crowd pleaser is perfect any time of the day!
Pour a big class of dairy-free milk and cozy up with a big plate of cookies for the perfect end to a busy day. Cookies always make everything better!
