Cashew butter is one of those luxuries I feel I will never take for granted – that and organic coconut butter.
They are sweet, creamy, rich, luscious, and everything you’d ever want all at once and all on a spoon.
So, when baked into a dessert, the decadence is taken to an entire new level.
Now, we add a touch of cinnamon and vanilla and a whole lot of dark chocolate, and the cookies that are created are literally, “the best thing ever!”
