Ingredients
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cashew butter (see blog post for how to make a quick batch of homemade)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line two large sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix sugar, egg, cashew butter, vanilla, baking soda, and salt until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips. (dough will be slightly sticky at first but will thicken up pretty quickly)
- Scoop cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared sheet pans. Press a few cashew halves in cookies if desired. Bake cookies at 350F 8-10 minutes until edges of cookies are a light golden brown.
- Cool cookies on baking sheet 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
