Β The classic criss-cross cookie gets an update with cashew butter, chocolate and sprinkles!
By now, you know I have a gazillion different quirks – many I’ve shared. The newest –Β fork size.
I cannot stand the dinner fork. The size is too awkward for comfortably dining. Don’t get me wrong – it has its uses – like piercing potatoes to test for doneness or making criss crosses in cookies π
But it has no business acting like an eating instrument.
That’s where the salad fork comes in π At least I won’t be going to any fancy dinner parties in the near future where this activity would be frowned upon!
Today Iβm sharing the recipe for these Criss-Cross Cashew Butter cookies on My Cooking Spot. (a perfectly acceptable excuse to use the dinner fork!) Forget the classic peanut butter cookie – this cashew butter version is more fun since it’s dipped in chocolate AND has sprinkles!
Or stick around here and grab these cookie recipes:
Great idea to use cashew butter Megan! And I love the chocolate and sprinkles. These are perfect for a Monday!
I agree! Thanks Mary Ann π
Haha I’ve never thought about the dinner sized fork before! Sometimes I swear it’s really the same as the salad fork at restaurants, and other places, it’s very easy to tell the difference. These cookies look delicious, Megan! I’ve never used cashew butter in cookies before, so I’m loving this flavor! Heading over to check out the recipe!
Adding cashew butter makes these cookies dreamy π Thanks Gayle!
The perfect day to share a cookie recipe – Monday! These look delicious and love the combo of cashew butter and chocolate. Gotta have those sprinkles too π
Sprinkles are the best π Thanks Dawn!
That’s why I like to eat with chop sticks π
ha ha! Good solution, Rebecca π Thank you!
I love your use of cashew butter – a nice contrast to the peanut butter and almond butter I often use – and added oomph that these are dipped in chocolate! Btw, I have to eat most all my dishes with a spoon – with the exception of some meats – but, I understand your dilemma, the salad fork is perfectly sized!
Spoons do come in handy sometimes π Thanks Shashi!
LOL! Seriously girl, with all your quirks I TOTALLY feel like we are cut from the same cloth! I always use a salad fork to eat too! I put a “normal size” fork out for Boy and I always use a small one. He loves to make fun of me, but I don’t care. π Anyways, these cookies look absolutely delicious.. and SO pretty! I’ll take at least a dozen! Cheers, sweets!
Sending two dozen your way π Thanks Cheyanne!
Luv your cookie recipe I disagree with your fork choice though
ok, John, fine by me.
Girl, I get you! I think you’re the only one who feels the way I do about regular forks. They’re big & bulky and I’m always missing my mouth. People think I’m crazy. Good to know I’m not the only one! These cookies sound amazing too. Cashew butter makes everything so buttery good.
Yay for salad fork fans π Thanks Megan!
I am obsessed with cashew butter and now love it more than peanut butter. It tastes so good in baked goods. My son with a peanut allergy would love these cute cookies!
I think he would, too! Thanks Karen π
The fork quirk is cute. In my house we never seem to have all the same size forks clean at the same time, so when (if) I set the table each person gets a different size fork, lol. I love these cashew cookies and the fact they are dipped in chocolate and sprinkles makes me love them even more. Take care.
Thanks Stacey! Hope I luck up and get a small one π
Hhaha that is a weird quark indeed lol! I love these cookies. Cashew butter is underused in my kitchen and I need to change that.
You should use cashew butter more often. It is so delicious π Thanks Zainab!
You’re too funny with your fork quirk! I love these cookies with the chocolate and sprinkles! I’m really going to have to try some cashew butter!
Cashew butter is the best π Thanks Rachelle!
How fun are these? These cookies are a great criss-cross cookie alternative for us weird people (*raising hand*) who don’t eat peanut butter. And sprinkles ALWAYS make desserts taste better!
I agree! PB’s overrated anyway π Thanks Eva!
I love how beautifully you have used cashew butter in these cookies. And those chocolate and sprinkles are making me drool. These are perfect for a Monday!
Thank you, Anu!
haha you are not alone!!! Both the husband and I ALWAYS use salad forks to eat! Dinner forks are way too big! And these cookies … oh how I love cashew butter!
Yay for salad forks and cashew butter π Thanks Ashley!
so cute! perfect twist on the classic pb cookie. and I’m so happy you added the chocolate and the sprinkles.
me too! They made these cookies more fun π Thanks Annie!
Cashew butter cookies dipped in chocolate and covered in sprinkles?! Why aren’t there a dozen right in front of me.
ha ha! we should always be stocked with lots of cookies π Thanks Nicole!
You are KIDDING. I also use the salad fork for dinner!! I have small hands and the bigger one is hard for me. I also like to use the smaller plates. Big plates make me nervous. π
These cookies are heaven! I agree that the best use for a regular fork is making those delightful marks.
yea – I don’t like big plates either! Thanks Mir π
I love all of your quirks! π Quirks in general totally keep life interesting. π Meanwhile, love how buttery and perfectly sweet these cookies look, Megan. I’d love to have these on my holiday table, with the sprinkles’ color changing to correlate with the specific holiday. Yummy!
That’s a great idea! Thanks Demeter π
Lol, yes! I totally use a salad fork because the dinner fork is too big! Love the cashew butter in these cookies!
Exactly! Thanks Kelly!
These cookies are so fun and I love that you used cashew butter! The chocolate and sprinkles are always a good idea, too!
Yay! Thanks Marcie π
These cookies sound marvelous! And so pretty dipped in chocolate!!
Thanks Liz!
Hahaha…I totally understand you on this post! I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it myself, but I have fork issues, too. I don’t mind the dinner fork for dinner…but when it comes to desserts, I need MINI! So much so that we have a set of mini forks (smaller than salad) and mini spoons JUST for desserts. π Can I eat these cookies with a mini fork? Please? They look delicious!
Oh goodness! Mini forks and spoons!! That sounds like just what I need π Thanks David!
These are beautiful, and as a person who’s allergic to peanuts, I would LOVE these. Thank you for sharing!!
Yay! Thanks Allie! Enjoy π
These cashew butter cookies look delicious! I wish I had one now! Beautiful pictures, too!
Thanks so much, Rahul π
These are so cute! I love criss cross peanut butter cookies, so I have to try these soon with cashew butter! Love the chocolate and sprinkles on top too!
Thanks Aimee! I hope you love them π
How cute it is!!!! Kids will love the cookies.
