Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Cashews, roughly chopped
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, pressing it down into an even layer with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle the chopped cashews evenly over the cookie base.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top, making sure it covers the cashews and cookie base completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack to allow the sweetened condensed milk to set.
Once cooled, cut into squares or bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
