In a large bowl, add cashew butter, syrup and vanilla. Mix together with a spatula until everything is completely combined. It should resemble a thick paste. Taste and add more syrup if needed.
Add in coconut flour, 1 tbsp at a time, until your paste is as thick as cookie dough. Make sure to completely incorporate each tbsp of coconut flour before adding more. You may find that you need slightly more or slightly less coconut flour (different brands of nut butter can have a different consistency, also if you added more syrup you will also need more coconut flour) which is why it is best to add it in a little at a time.
Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop dough balls. Press dough into the cookie scoop to compact it. Release onto prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing dough balls about 1.5 inches apart.
Use the palm of your hand to press and flatten dough ball into a round disk about 1/3 inch thick. Since these are no bake cookies, this is what your finished cookie will look like so you can smooth out and shape as you wish. Add chocolate chips by pressing them gently onto the surface of the cookies.
Place cookies in fridge to chill for about 1 hour or until firm. You should be able to lift the cookies off of the parchment paper. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge.
Cashew butter does have a slightly higher carb count than some other nut butters. If you want to reduce carbohydrates even more, you can use a different nut butter. See the post for more details.
If you need a nut free substitute, this recipe will also work with sunflower butter. See post for more details.
I have only tested this recipe with Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup* though I think other sugar free syrups should work. The amount you need to add may vary.
