Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cashew Butter

June 20, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 47 Comments

Hi Everyone,

A picture can be say a thousand words, I’ll let my picture speak for its self.

Ahh yes the picture above is combined with the two things I truly love, peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie dough.  Pure heaven in every bite full.

But before I get to my latest Peanut Butter creation I wanted to share with you some good things.  On Tuesday, I gave blood.  Completely unplanned, something I didn’t realize I was doing until 7am in the morning.  See, every year our office building has a blood drive and last year was the first time I ever gave blood.  My experience wasn’t great.  As I watched my co-workers come and go I sat there with the needle in my arm as my blood slowly gave.  I told the nurse about my experience last time, so she made sure it was done correctly this time and sure enough I was done in a few minutes.  Giving blood is something I don’t like to do, but I know I am doing a good thing.  The only weird thing that happened this round of giving is that my ear on the side she drew blood is muffled.  I don’t know if it is from drawing blood or just me.  I feel like I went swimming than started to drive up a hill.  I’m kind of waiting to see if my ear pops.  I know it won’t, we’ll see how I feel later tonight or tomorrow before I do anything.  I just have to keep in mind that I am helping others.


When I came home from work I saw a little package on my step and it was from Trader Joe’s.  Remember when I told you I was one of the top three recipes for the Quinoa Recipe Contest? Well they sent me some goodies.  I got a $25.00 gift card for Trader Joe’s, a cute bag, Tri-Color Quinoa and a nifty can of corn.  I’m intrigued by the corn.  I never seen this in the store and it’s so cute in the thermos.  It’s also very light, almost feels empty.  My Husband asked me to open it because he does’t think there is anything in the can, but I won’t in case there is.  I never had canned corn before and I am looking forward to trying it.

Now for my Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cashew Butter.  On Saturday, I was bored, hot and I couldn’t bake, but I wanted something different, something I never made before, something that was sweet!  I’ve had a horrible sweet tooth lately.  After digging through my pantry I saw a bag of unsalted roasted cashews and the idea of Cookie Dough came to mind.  I originally thought of making cookie dough peanut butter balls, but I thought it would be so much nicer making a big batch of Cookie Dough, plus I didn’t feel like rolling the balls.  I am so glad that I created this wonderful snack!

I will tell you, you probably won’t want to make this Cashew Butter!  It is WAY to addicting!!   Since I made it over the weekend, it is pretty much gone now.  I was driving home from work and all I could think about was taking animal crackers and dipping it into my Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, yum, only to find that someone ate half of my Cookie Dough!  Ahhhh!!  And all the animal crackers were gone!  They ate half!!  I almost cried!  I’m not an emotional person, but when it comes to my Peanut Butter/Cashew Butter and someone ate it, I can get very upset.  Now don’t get me upset!  I guess that means I need to get more cashews and make some of this yummy goodness and soon!

This is probably one of my best trial and error recipes ever!!  I must have ate half a cup just testing it, but after a few tries I perfected it!  Does this taste just like cookie dough?  No, but it’s pretty darn close.  But does it taste good?  Ahhhh hell yes!  Sorry for using the “H” word, but sometimes good things are worth swearing about.  he he

I made this Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cashew Butter using unsalted cashews, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, coconut oil, mini chocolate chips and love.  If you haven’t made a nut butter, you must, it’s so rewarding.  I don’t know what it is about turning nuts into something so creamy good, but it feel like I conquered the Peanut Butter world!  If you have a 7 – 12 cup food processor than you should cut the recipe in half.  Making the whole recipe may burn out your food processor.  I used Zach, my 16 cup food processor to make this.  Yes, I am crazy enough to name my food processor.

Creamy, sweet Cashew Nut Butter that tastes like Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.
Serves: 32 Tbsp.
Ingredients
  • 4 cups cashews, roasted, unsalted
  • 5 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp. coconut oil
  • ¾ tsp. salt
  • 4 tsp. brown sugar
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Add cashews to food processor and blend until a big lump forms. You may have to scrap the sides of the bowl down a few times. Once lump forms, add the vanilla extract, coconut oil, salt and brown sugar and blend until desired consistency. If you like your nut butter creamier, add a pinch more coconut oil.
  2. Add to a bowl and let cool. Once cooled, stir in chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
I store my nut butters in the cupboard, but you may want to store in the refrigerator.

Did you notice the calories on how low they are?  I have no idea how that is possible?  I calculated it twice and I measured out the Nut Butter twice.  However the cashews were only 170 calories per 1/4 cup which is low for nuts.  Here’s a little Cashew Nut Fact for weight loss:

People who eat nuts twice a week are much less likely to gain weight than those who rarely eat nuts. Cashew nuts are indeed relatively high in fat, but it is considered “good fat.” This is attributable to the ideal fat ratio in the nut, 1:2:1 for saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated, respectively, which is recommended by scientists for tip-top health. Cashew nuts contain less fat than most other popular nuts, including peanuts, pecans, almonds and walnuts. They are dense in energy and high in dietary fiber, making them a very valuable snack for managing weight gain.

I should be super skinny with all the nuts I eat!  What happened?  lol

Well I hope you like my little cashew facts and I do hope you make peanut butter, it’s truly a wonderful thing to make and I guarantee you will feel so proud!!  The only issue is that it tastes so much better than store-bought that you will never want to buy jarred again!  Trust me on that one!

Time for me to go, I need to make dinner and some snacky snacks for the week.  Have a wonderful Wednesday!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    How long does it keep and do you have to refrigerate it? My son is on the Paeleo(sp)diet and loves nut butters but can’t eat the store bought stuff. Thought I would make him some and send it to him if it keeps well!! I know he would live this and so would I!

      Good morning Amy, I store mine in the cupboard, but due to the heat the chocolate chips get a little soft, but thats really no big deal. If your going to ship it, it will be fine. I have shipped a ton of homemade peanut butter and there has never been an issue. If you make it, let me know what you think of it!!

    Do you think these would work with carob chips? There all I have in my fridge right now.

      Make the cashew butter and set some a side and try it with carob chips. You don’t add the chips in until the cashew butter is cooled, otherwise the chocolate will melt. So you can make it and put chips in it later if you don’t like the taste with carob chips, but I am sure you will like it. If you make it, let me know how it is with carob chips. Happy Wednesday!

        Ugh, no luck with ingrediants this week I guess. How do you think it would turn out with raw cashews? I’ve only seen the salted roasted cashews or the raw one.

          Hi Valerie, I used roasted unsalted cashews, so you’ll be fine. Just roast your cashews is you like in a 300 degree oven for about 15 minutes, just be sure to flip them half way through cooking time. If you get salted cashews, which I’ve used before just omit the salt in the recipe.

            I made it with some Emily’s salted roasted cashew nuts. The calorie count for me turned out about 70 cal per tbsp, but it was great with carob chips! Mine turned out a bit dry (not nice and smooth like yours) even with an extra teaspoon of coconut oil, but I had to divide the ingredients in half and make it in two batches since I only have a small food processor. Not sure if that had anything to do with it! Still love the recipe though!

            Also, am still totally in love with your blog!

            The first time I made nut butters, they turned out thick. I have a heavy duty food processor, so it can handle nuts pretty well. You have to process it for a little while, longer than peanuts. I think that could be the culprit to why yours turned out dry. Cashew Nut Butters in general are thick, and there not as creamy as a regualr peanut butter. Cashews Nut Butter is great for making cookie balls because it holds it’s shape. I like to add crushed oats, maple syrup, cashew nut butter and chocolate chips, roll into a ball and freeze.

            I’m sorry it didn’t turn out for you!!

            That’s ok! I actually love the taste! It really makes me feel like I’m eating cookie dough! Tasted wonderful with my sprouted wheat raisin bread! I’ll try your cookie balls though! They sound good!

    I haven’t given blood in years because I’m slightly anemic but my one-time experience with it was not pleasant either. I just don’t like having needles stuck in me, as it turns out.

    THIS LOOKS AMAZING. I need to buy cashews. Like…right now.

Happy Thursday! I am a day ahead of myself this w Happy Thursday!  I am a day ahead of myself this week. I thought yesterday was Thursday and I was excited because I thought today was Friday. I knew what day of the week it was, but my brain didn’t get it. Does that ever happen to you?

I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?

Happy Wednesday! My bathroom refresh should be co Happy Wednesday!  My bathroom refresh should be completed, I think this weekend? That means I get to go shopping for some new pieces to add to the bathroom. I am on the search for is some new open shelves to go above the toilet. If you have any suggestions on where to get some, let me know.
❤️
I wasn’t going to, but I decided to do a small Valentines table setting. I couldn’t resist the small white plates with the little red heart in the middle that I got from @williamssonoma. It was the first thing I bought after my no home decor buying for 30 days.
❤️
I love the simplicity of the table. It’s a small space, so I do not like to go to overboard on the decor. I added a little gift of candy hearts to bring together the reds and of course to eat.
❤️
Do you have any special plans for Valentines Day?

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I clea Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I cleaned my kitchen sink area. It was filling up with daffodils and tulips and my husband said he feels like he’s in a greenhouse. I said they are bulbs, they won’t be there forever. Well they did poop out so I cleaned up my area to make more room for new plants.
🤣
You know when you take a photo and you realize something is in the wrong spot, so you fix it and take a photo again? Or maybe you see a crumb, a dog hair tumbleweed and you have to clean up and take a photo again. We’ll here’s my story.
😂
I took a photo of the kitchen sink area and I saw in the photo a smear mark on the dishwasher. So I cleaned the dishwasher. Then I took a photo again and I saw that smear mark again. So I scrubbed the dishwasher and ended up up cleaning all of my cabinets.
😂
I took the photo again and I saw that smear looking mark in my photo. What the heck? I examined the dishwasher and I’m thinking it’s so clean and smooth. I don’t get what that smear mark is. It was driving me crazy!!
🤣
Then it hit me. It was the reflection of the dog food dish in the dishwasher. Sigh.... All that scrubbing and I could have just moved the bowl. Well now I have a clean dishwasher and cabinets.
🤦‍♀️
Has this ever happened to you?

Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. I took  advantage of the sunshine and 64 degree weather we had. I did some therapeutic yard work and I planted Pansies, Stock and Ranunculus in the garden. It felt so nice to be outside and to see flowers.

This weekend I finally repotted my Coffee Plant and Dracaena plant. They had roots growing out of the pot. I have no idea how the Dracaena (plant on right) plant survived. The roots were so dry and it was in about a 3” container.  I looked up the plant and it can grow to 10’. Not the care I gave mine. That little plant is about a year old.
🌸
If your looking for a low light, easy to care for plant that takes neglect, get a Dracaena. I’m proof that it can take neglect.
🌸
Basic repotting plant tips
1. Get a pot about 2-4” larger in diameter then the pot your current plant is in. Make sure it has a drainage hole at the bottom.
2. Use indoor potting soil, preferably organic.
3. Carefully take plant out of current pot, check if the roots are root bound, if so, try to untangle a little bit. Just be gentle.
4. Place plant in new pot with fresh indoor potting soil
5. Give a good watering
🌸
Did you watch the Super Bowl? I wasn’t a fan of the game, but I enjoyed some of the commercials. The Cheetos one with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunas made me laugh. I didn’t care for the Doritos commercial with my man Matthew McConaughey.
🌸
Were there any commercials you liked?

It’s finally Friday! Woohoo! I always say to my It’s finally Friday!  Woohoo! I always say to myself, I’m going to sleep in, I never do. I get so excited of all the things I want to do, that I can’t sleep. This weekend I’m hoping to hit the garden store. I really want to plant some Iceland Poppies.
🌷
Since Spring is in my head, I created this cute Spring tiered tray. I got all of the gorgeous handcrafted pieces from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. The workmanship is amazing. They are just happy, cheery pieces.
🌷
The love birds sign is my favorite. It reminds me of my two Blue Jays that frequent my yard. They are my favorite birds next to Woody of course.
🐦
How cute is that sweet little “BLOOM” banner. Eeeee, It makes me want to plant flowers so bad. Crossing fingers that I get too. You have no idea how I just love Spring!
🌷
To get these fabulous pieces and many more, be sure to check out The Sassy Oak. She has a beautiful Etsy shop.

Do you like gardening?
