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.

I mean, of course we love chocolate chip cookies, but how have I never thought to try adding cashews before? It’s such a great flavor combination, and the crunch that the cashews add is such a nice touch.
You need to try it! It is so good!

Yay! Let me know if you give them a go 🙂
I wanted to grab that handful of cookies right out of the screen! This recipe is not your usual chocolate chip cookies recipe – the cashews really elevate it!
Haha, if only we could do that! Cashews do make things better 🙂
I can’t believe how good these turned out! I love the flavor combination of cashews and chocolate chips. I would have never combined them together without this recipe. Thanks
Glad you liked it 🙂
mmm these cookies sound amazing. I love the addition of cashews to chocolate chip cookies.
Me too! One of my new favourite combos 🙂
I so need to try these! I love cashews and always have them in my cupboard but have never added them to chocolate chip cookies. Such a great idea!
You must give it a go! It is a game changer!
Great idea to add cashews to a classic chocolate chip cookie! There are so many pumpkin recipes out there so it's a nice change to see something different. Happy accident that you turned to cashews, instead of pumpkin (not that there's anyting wrong with pumpkin). 🙂
