Cashew Caramel Cookies
I have been craving for something sweet and crunchy type of cookie and while hunting for ingredients at home,found my favourite nuts which is cashew and of course caramel for me it was the perfect duo.
This is my first time to try the recipes of martha stewart and I was not disappointed =) Give it a try and maybe you will like it too.
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups roasted salted cashews
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 24 cubes soft caramel candy (7 ounces)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour and salt together. Coarsely chop 1 cup cashews; set aside. Process remaining 1 1/2 cups cashews in a food processor until finely chopped. Pour in oil. Process until mixture is creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Put cashew mixture, butter, and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low; gradually add flour mixture. Mix in reserved chopped cashews.
- Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls; space 2 inches apart on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 6 minutes; gently flatten with a spatula. Bake until bottoms are just golden, 6 to 7 minutes more. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks.
- Melt caramels with cream in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring. Let cool. Using a spoon, drizzle caramel over cookies; let set. Store airtight in single layers.
