- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Notes
*This recipe calls for unsalted cashew butter, if you are using salted cashew butter them omit the addition of 1/4 teaspoon of salt in the recipe.
*These cooking are meant to be soft so they are able to sit uncovered for longer than some other cookies without drying out. However, I’d recommend storing in an air tight container if you plan to store them longer than a day.
