Cashew Chip Cookies
Serves: 8
Happy Monday Fit Friends! I hope you had a great weekend! The weather here in the east was so beautiful! It actually felt like true summer weather, finally! The weekend was pretty low key. The boyfriend and I saw Dark Knight this weekend! I highly recommend you see it if you haven’t already! It was excellent! But make sure you pack some snacks because it is 3 hours!!! I couldn’t believe it was so long, but the time flew by! One healthy snack you might like to pack is one of these delicious cashew chip cookies! They are 100% healthy and packed with protein, healthy fats and some carbs! They are a perfect treat to enjoy while watching a movie!
Fit Ingredients
- 3/4c (192g) cashew butter
- 2/3c (60g) vanilla protein powder

Directions
Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and then spray with non stick spray. In a bowl, mix your protein powder, flax and stevia. In a second bowl mix your cashew butter, egg, vanilla and coconut milk. Add your dry ingredients into your wet. Mix well. This might take some arm power, so use those guns and mix, mix, mix until well combined! Stir in your cacao nibs. Using a tablespoon (or mini cookie scoop) divide the dough into 8 balls. Press the tops with a fork. Bake for 12 minutes.
These cookies are very big! They are the perfect snack that will keep you full, but not weigh you down! I definitely ate one (or maybe 2)…..or maybe half of them disappeared not long after they were baked! 
Look how big!!
