Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 120 grams Cashew butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 75 grams Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Chopped cashews (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cashew butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until fluffy and well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
If using, sprinkle a few chopped cashews on top of each cookie and gently press them down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
