I look forward to trying this chocolate chocolate chip cookie recipe. However, before I do, I have a general question for all your recipes that use cashews. How do you measure a “cup” of cashews? Is it literally 8 ounces by weight, or is it how many will fit in a 1 cup container (level with the rim)? Also, why raw over roasted? Thank you.
I measure the cashews into a cup measuring cup. Mine come in pieces, not whole because they are cheaper. Raw because they blend smooth. Roasted will not blend smooth.
Hello! Thank you for this recipe! do you know about how many calories each cookie may be? Or how many per serving?
Hello Deanna,
This recipe makes about 2 dozen and they are 120 calories each.
Thank you!
Why do you use 2 types of flour? What can I subsitute the sweet potato flour for? Almond meal? Sorghum flour? Brown rice flour?
Hello,
I gave these a try but used white hard wheat (whole grain) instead of the sweet potato flour (that’s what I had on hand). Does the sweet potato flour help lend a sweetness? I will give these another try with sweet potato flour in future. They were very dense but I liked that. I was hoping to use cacao nibs in place of the chocolate chips but realized the batter itself wasn’t so sweet so went with the chips as called for.
I have been impressed with the other recipes I’ve tried as well 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
I try to use alternative flours so that these will be good for people with gluten allergies.
Hi Jill! Thanks for the recipe — they are delicious! I think it would help to put 20-25 minutes for the cooking time on the printed recipe. In the video you said you put them in for 20 minutes, and the printed recipe says 25, so since I had printed out the recipe, we went 25 on the first batch and it was too long. We did 17 minutes on the second batch and that was perfect =) Hubby made a sandwich with two cookies and a little dough, and gave it two thumbs up =)
The sweet potato flour is so expensive. There must be a way to make these wonderful recipes with a more practical ingredient.
You can just use more of the oat flour. I had just discovered making my own sweet potato flour at that point and thought it was a great way to add sweetness without adding refined sugar.
I will do that! Thank you.
This recipe is absolutely brilliant. Better than “real” chocolate chip cookies. I used oat groats 1/2&1/2 with oatmeal, ground to flour, plus some almond flour that I had. Didn’t miss any sweetness from the sweet potatoes, but might try that when I have time to dehydrate some.
Also, interestingly, I forgot to smush down one sheet of cookies before baking, so I did it after they came out. They ended up totally smooth like “regular” cookies and had an excellent chewy center. It was actually easier than smushing before baking! 🙂
