Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Cashews (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until fully combined.
Gradually, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped cashews, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still slightly soft.
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.
Serve the cookies with a glass of milk, tea, or coffee, and enjoy!
