Cashew Crunch Cookies

These are some of my favorite cookies. Chuck and I happen to love cashew nuts so on the rare occasion when we can stop eating them I make these cookies. 

This cookie reminds me of a rich Sandie type and is delicious soft or crispy.

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup butter softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped cashews

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1. In a large bowl combine all ingredients except cashews.  Blend well with mixer.  
2. Stir in cashews, mix thoroughly.  
3. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto lightly greased cookie sheets.  
4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. 
5. Cool a minute or so, then carefully remove to a rack to finish cooling
6. Store in a cookie jar and enjoy!

I like mine lightly browned when the edges first start to brown.

Makes approximately 45 one inch cookies

I really like this Joseph Joseph Bendable Cutting board

It was a gift from Carly

I like these cute little boxes and tissue for cookies

It is fun to bake, decorate, and just make things festive, don't you think?

Enjoy!
