Salted Chocolate Cashew Cookies

Sea-salt chocolate is all the craze these days, and for all the right reasons. These chewy, goo-ey salted cashew cookies are so good you’ll wish you found this recipe sooner. Creamy chocolate, crunchy cashews and flakey sea salt.. What more could you want in a cookie? Take them to the next level with a dollop of caramel ice cream on top!

What you’ll need:

• 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt 
• 1 ¼ cups lightly salted cashews, halved 
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ¾ cup softened unsalted butter
• ¼ cup caramel ice cream topping 

Preheat oven to 350℉

Method:

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, caramel and vanilla.
2. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt & gradually beat into the creamed mixture. Stir in 1 ⅓ chocolate chips & ¾ cups cashews. 
3. Spoon dough using a tablespoon onto parchment paper and bake for about 10-12 mins until the edges are firm. Cool on the pan for 5 mins & then transfer to wire racks to cool completely 
4. In the microwave, melt the remaining chocolate chips and drizzle over the cookies. Sprinkle with remaining cashews & let stand until set.

If you've got a sweet tooth like we do, we recommend topping these off with some salted caramel or toffee ice cream.
