Enjoy the ideal combination of soft and chewy sugar cookies and a delectable cashew filling. These cookies are a nutty spin on a traditional favorite.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 3 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup finely chopped cashews. 1/4 cup powdered sugar for cashew filling. 1/4 cup cashew butter. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. 1/4 teaspoon cardamom.
Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. In another bowl, combine the finely chopped cashews, powdered sugar, cashew butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom to make the cashew filling. Preheat your oven to 350F 175C. Take a small amount of cookie dough, flatten it slightly, and place a teaspoon of cashew filling in the center. Fold the dough over the filling and roll it into a ball. Place the filled dough balls on a baking sheet. Use a fork to flatten each dough ball slightly and create a crisscross pattern on top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delicious soft baked cashew filled sugar cookies!
