Flourless Vanilla Bean Cookies. The other day, I shared a recipe for vanilla bean dip. It was literally one of my favorite recipe lately.

As I was eating it, I thought it would make an awesome cookie too. So I made the dip again and baked it. The result was delicious!

This recipe is vegan, gluten free and grain free. I think you can definitely add in chocolate chips or white chocolate chips if you like. That would be good!

I used cashew butter in my recipe, but it would also work with almond butter or sunflower butter for a nut-free option.

If you want to bump up the chocolate even more, you can add some chocolate chips. I used almond butter because that’s what I had on hand, but any nut butter will work in this recipe. If you want to make it nut free, you can use sunflower butter.
