Oh em gee, peeps! Exciting news: Drew and I put an offer in on a house last week… and it was accepted! AAHH I can hardly believe it. It doesn’t feel real. We’ve rented for the past seven years, so the idea of actually being able to call a place “ours” is a weird feeling. But now that we’re in Michigan and here to stay, it makes sense for us to finally buy.

Oh man… my head is just spinning with so many different ideas. Between the kitchen, the office, the living room… I’m going to need some pinspiration 😀

And also A LOT of help to keep me from painting and decorating every room a shade of blue. Someone, seriously help. Honestly, I should probably hire a decorator because I am too indecisive with these things. I know what I like when I see it but after that I get stuck. It’s like when I go into HomeGoods and develop shiny object syndrome. I WANT ALL THE THINGS. And then I am walking around with my arms full and think “Wait, what do I need this for? And where would I put it…?” And back on the shelf it goes only to find myself at the checkout with fancy food items instead of decor. Sound familiar?

I guess in time everything will come together. I’m only *slightly* embarrassed to admit this but we didn’t even hang up curtains, shelves, or hardly any decor in our apartment we’re currently in. We still have so much stuff in boxes. I knew (and had hoped) it was very temporary so I just didn’t even want to bother. Is that bad? I probably would have enjoyed our apartment a little bit more over the past year if we had done some more to it, but it needed a lot more love than just decor, if you know what I’m saying.

ANYWAYS. If everything goes according to plan from here on out I’ll be making more of these turmeric cashew butter cookies in our new home! Yes, you read that right…

Chocolate Chunk Turmeric Cashew Butter Cookies

Are you sick of golden milk and turmeric goodies yet? Please say “no” because these cookies are just delightful. The turmeric flavor comes through ever-so-slightly, and of course turns the cookies this deep golden hue.

And the TEXTURE of these cashew butter cookies, ugh you’ll love them. They’re soft, but chewy and almost melt in your mouth. AMAZING. This may just be my new favorite cookie right here. Oh also? –> grain-free/gluten-free/paleo 😀

What you need

  • creamy thick cashew butter
  • ghee or softened butter
  • coconut sugar
  • egg
  • vanilla
  • coconut flour
  • turmeric
  • cinnamon
  • baking soda
  • salt
  • chocolate chunks

Everything comes together in one bowl with an electric mixer –you can mix by hand but I opted for a mixer to make sure the wet ingredients were creamed together well.

The mixture will feel thick but slightly oily. Then you shape the cookies into rounded tablespoon size dough balls, flatten slightly like the picture below…

THEN BAKE AND EAT THESE TURMERIC CASHEW BUTTER COOKIES ASAP.

Well, wait a tiny bit to cool so the melty chocolate doesn’t burn your mouth. But then eat as soon as you can.

Description

You definitely need these Chocolate Chunk Turmeric Cashew Butter Cookies in your life. They’re soft, chewy and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Grain-free and paleo-friendly.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup creamy cashew butter (all natural, I used homemade)
  • 1 TBS ghee or softened butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar (can sub brown sugar)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 TBS coconut flour
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2oz dairy-free dark chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside. (I don’t recommend using a silicone mat here or your turmeric cookies will stain it.)
  2. In a large mixing bowl using hand mixer–or stand mixer with paddle attachment–cream together cashew butter, ghee/butter and coconut sugar until well mixed. Add in egg and vanilla and mix again until thoroughly combined.
  3. Sprinkle the coconut flour, turmeric, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt evenly over dough. Use large spatula or spoon to fully combine. Dough should be thick and slightly oily. Gently fold in chopped chocolate chunks.
  4. Using tablespoon, scoop dough into round shape, pressing in chocolate chunks as needed. Place on baking sheet and gently flatten with palm of hand. Evenly space cookies about two inches apart. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Careful not to over-bake or cookies will dry out. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

  2. I can’t wait to give these a try! I’m definitely loving all things golden milk and turmeric, and I love the idea of pairing those flavors with the cashew butter. Also, be prepared for it to take forever to furnish your entire home. We’re almost 9 month in and still have no bed for our guest bedroom. It takes forever to finish decorating every nook and cranny. But congrats on having an offer accepted!

    • lol thanks for the heads up! I was making a list this weekend of different items we need for each room… Quickly realizing it may take us a bit to fully furnish. Especially coming from apartment life! I need to budget and plan accordingly 😀

  3. WOAH! Grain free and AMAZING looking; I think it’s incredible how you find ways to stick turmeric into everything; it makes the color of these cookies so pretty.

    I’m so excited for you and your new house; that was smart to leave a lot of things in boxes; that way you don’t have to do nearly as much packing.

    • Thanks Emily! There are days I think we should have unpacked more–but really that is only when I am looking for a particular food prop dish that I can’t seem to find 😉

  4. YAY! Congratulations on the new home! And yes to having an accountability partner when it comes to shopping at Home Goods.

    These cookies sounds incredible. I’ve been loving cashew butter and can’t think of a better way to enjoy it.

    • My best friend’s place is so cute and she gets so much stuff from HomeGoods! But I should probably not be allowed to go by myself from here on out 🙂

  7. Your Golden Milk Overnight Oats are on rotation for my breakfast so often! I actually came to your blog today to see if you have any other Golden Milk recipes that I could try. Cookies sound bomb-diggity! Also, sometimes nut butter cookie recipes will call for zero flour but I like the addition of coconut flour to this recipe. A little something to sturdy-up the cookies. I’ll need to give these a try. 🙂 If I may also make a suggestion, I’d love to see Golden Milk Muffins from you. If anyone can make a great recipe, it will be you! ♥

    Reply

    • Well thank you so much for your kind comment Melanie! You just made my day 🙂 I will totally add muffins to the “golden milk list” next! 😉

    • Hi Emma, I didn’t test these with a flax egg but you could try that! It might not hold the cookies together *as well* but I’ve made a recipe that is similar using a flax egg. They might just be slightly more crumbly, so I would under-bake them a tiny bit and let them cool on the pan. Let me know if you try it out!

  13. These were so good, bud. I used almond butter and they turned out great. We ate them very quickly…. 🙂

    • Hi Elisa, I just used ground turmeric– I’ll update the recipe page – thank you for your comment! Let me know what you think if you make them 🙂

  18. They were fabulous the first day but broke one in half the next and they were green inside. Has that ever happened to anyone else? I used sunflower butter instead of cashew but vacant imagine that reacting like that.

    • Hi Pattie, The sunflower butter actually reacts with baking soda – it doesn’t really affect the taste but it does turn things green. These are a softer cookie and I like to keep mine in the fridge. Hope that helps!
