ingredients
- 8 tablespoons grass-fed butter, softened
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon organic honey
- 1 large pasture-raised egg
- 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons cassava flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup Cascadian Farm Organic Cherries, thawed, chopped, and patted dry
- 1/2 cup vegan organic dark chocolate, chopped
- Flaky sea salt, for topping
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, coconut sugar, and honey until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, cassava flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined—do not overmix.
Step 6
Gently stir in chopped Cascadian Farm Organic Cherries and chopped dark chocolate.
Step 7
Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each cookie—they won’t spread much on their own.
Step 8
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft.
Step 9
While cookies are still warm, sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt for the perfect finish.
Step 10
Let cool for 5 minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack.
