Ready Time

45 mins

Yields

4 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cashews, chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg, followed by the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Stir in the chopped cashews.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies are perfect for a small gathering or snack time, but if you need to make more, simply double or triple the recipe. Make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the butter to firm up, which will help with cookie shaping.

For an extra crunchy cookie, bake for 14 minutes.

If you prefer a chewier cookie, bake for 12 minutes. You can also toast the cashews in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant, to bring out their flavor.
