Cashew Butterscotch Chip Cookies


I realized recently that it has been a long time since I have made anything with cashews.  I love cashews...they are one of the few types of nuts that I like. These crunchy and chewy cookies contain butterscotch chips and cashews, and are quite a delicious little treat. Original recipe found here.

Cashew Butterscotch Chip Cookies

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cups salted roasted cashew halves or pieces
3/4 cup butterscotch chips

Preheat the oven to 375F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla.  Beat until incorporated.  Add the white whole wheat flour, and all purpose flour, and beat until combined.  Stir in the cashews and butterscotch chips.

Shape the dough into tablespoon size balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.  Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 9 minutes, or until the edges are just golden brown and the center is set.  Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for several minutes.  Transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.  Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
