Delicious Cashew Cookies Recipe for a Sweet Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup cashews, chopped
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

    Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add Egg

    Add the egg to the mixture and beat well until fully incorporated.

    Make sure the egg is at room temperature for better mixing.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour and chopped cashews.

    This helps distribute the cashews evenly in the dough.
  5. Form the Dough

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Shape Cookies

    Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

    Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

    Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.
