What do you look for in a snack? I look for snacks that are pleasing to both the kids and grownups in my house, healthy and easy to make. These No Bake Cashew Cookie Dough Bites fit the bill. Cashews may very well be my favorite kind of nut. They are milder and softer than most nuts. I just love the flavor. Have you tried cashew butter? If not, it’s time to pick up a jar and make these delicious treats.
The original recipe from The Kitchn uses raw cashews. We had a jar of cashew butter so we made adjustments to that original recipe. Start by adding cashew butter, oats, salt and cinnamon to a food processor. Pulse it until a fine meal forms.
Next add syrup and vanilla extract. When a ball of dough starts to form, remove it from the food processor and add some mini chocolate chips. Using your hands, form the dough into balls. This is very fun for little hands to help with.
You can eat the cookie dough bites immediately or refrigerate them. My kids couldn’t wait to try these and they didn’t last long at all!
