Sweet and salty chocolate chip cashew cookies. The perfect snack to bring to work or school.
I was about to buy pumpkin. I really was. But then I walked down the nut aisle, and I saw the cashews.
I must admit, whenever I see cashews, I forget about most other things. I suddenly wanted to make some sweet and salty cookies. Some sweet and salty cookies with cashews in it.
Since I’m going to do my two week practicum tomorrow teaching high school math, I needed to de-stress with some baking.
And stress eating. Seriously, I don’t think these cookies will last until morning. They are that good.

Do the cashews have to be raw or salted? I need to make some for my father on Father’s Day and I want to be entirely accurate at the best way to make this recipe.
It’s really a preference thing. I prefer them salted because I love the sweet and salty combo, but raw cashews also work well.
I make a cranberry chocolate chip cookie with walnuts, never thought of cashews. Made them after seeing this recipe with the cashews instead of walnuts and it really brought them up to another level. Thanks for sharing.
