Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large tray with parchment paper or prepare a cookie sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cashew butter, brown sugar, and egg. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
Form 12 small balls of dough and place them on the lined tray. Press each ball in a cookie shape and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until just cooked on top and golden edges.
Remove cookies from the oven and allow to cool on the tray completely.
