Variations
- For anyone with allergies, this recipe is eggless, and gluten-free! (Remember to check your oats to make sure they are gluten-free if you have celiac disease.)
- Use any other nut-based butter like almond butter, sunflower seed butter, peanut butter or soy butter in place of the cashew butter in this recipe.
- Use any other liquid sweetener like maple syrup or agave nectar in place of honey.
- Chop up a chocolate bar if you don’t have chocolate chips at home.
- You could “bake” the finished cookie dough in the microwave for 30 seconds until the chocolate melts too and enjoy a warm cookie dough too!
- You could roll them into balls if you’d like and make mini cookie dough bites instead.
