A couple weeks ago, we picked up a bag of cashew flour at Trader Joe’s. (Because some days you just can’t resist the newest fun product you pass on their shelves. Ha.) I have been eager ever since to try it out in a new recipe. On Christmas day I had a little free time so I made up a batch of these delicious little cookies. Cashews always seem to pair well with coconut so I tossed in some unsweetened coconut for flavor. Dried apricots were another great mix in! (If you can’t tell already from this granola recipe, I love the combo of apricot and coconut.)These cookies are great because without loads of butter or chocolate, they are a welcome, lighter break after all of that indulgent holiday eating. For my gluten-free friends, these cookies can easily be a sweet treat you can enjoy by using gluten-free labeled oats.
