White Chocolate Cashew Cookies
These White Chocolate Cashew Cookies are the dessert recipe! Made with a couple of simple ingredients, the whole family will love them.
Move aside white chocolate and macadamia nut. I think that I have found a new favorite chocolate and nut flavor combination.
I used to love the white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies from Subway. I would get them almost every day in high school because the school was a walking distance from Subway. But now that I bake all my own desserts, I have found that it is very hard to get a hold of macadamia nuts. They don't sell them in my local grocery stores.
But making a batch of these golden brown White Chocolate Cashew Cookies? I think that this brings me more joy than those Subway cookies ever good.
Cashews and white chocolate is such a good combination, I am going to definitely start making a lot more recipes with these two ingredients in the future!
White Chocolate Cashew Cookies Ingredients
These homemade cookies are made with mainly pantry essentials. All you need is:
- unsalted butter
- brown sugar
- white sugar
- large egg
- vanilla extract
- all purpose flour
- cornstarch
- baking soda
- salt
- white chocolate chips
- chopped cashew nuts
Tips
Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can also store them in the freezer. Just place them in a freezer safe Zip lock bag, and freeze for up to 3 months.
Use a cookie scoop. I love how you can make all of your cookies the identical shape using a cookie scoop. I use this medium cookie scoop, but any cookie scoop works. If you go for a larger scoop you may need to place the cookie dough balls farther apart to prevent spreading.
Make use of parchment paper. While I have made these cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet before, it is way easier cleanup if you line baking sheets with parchment paper. Depending on your baking sheets, the cookies could still stick to them if you didn't line them with anything.
