Recipe Summary

Yield: Makes about 22

Makes about 22

Ingredients

8 ounces roasted unsalted cashews (1 3/4 cup), plus 1 1/2 ounces (1/3 cup) more for garnish
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for shaping
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark-brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

In the bowl of a food processor, combine 1 3/4 cups cashews with canola oil, and process until smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. (You should have about 3/4 cup puree.) Set aside until completely cool.

Coarsely chop cashew nuts, and reserve for garnish.

In a medium mixing bowl, sift the flour and salt together; set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, cashew puree, and both sugars, and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until well combined, about 30 seconds. Add the flour mixture, and mix on low speed, just until combined, about 20 seconds. Wrap dough in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Have ready two baking sheets lined with parchment paper, and set aside. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough (1 1/2 ounces), and shape into a ball. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing dough balls 3 inches apart. Dip the tines of a fork in flour, and press into the dough balls to make vertical and horizontal indentations. Sprinkle reserved cashew nuts on top.

Bake 10 minutes. Rotate baking sheet, and bake 6 to 8 minutes more, depending on whether a soft or crisp cookie is desired. Transfer cookies with the parchment to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

                I had leftover cashews in my cabinet so I googled cashew recipes & came upon this recipe. The only change I made to the recipe was I added 1/2 TSP of almond extract in addition to the vanilla. It made the cookie super fragrant. Just going nuts with the nuts. I also made my cashew butter a little chunkier b/c I like a textured cookie. It came out delicious & chewy.

                These cookies were a hit with my coworkers and family.  I purchased the cashew butter from Whole Foods in their bulk section just because I didn't have the time to grind my own, but that was the only change I made.

                Is there some place on this site that gives the nutritional values of the recipes? Before I decide to make this cookie I'd like to know the caloric, fat and carb values.

                i have the classic beehive osterizer blender. it came with an extra jar for smoothies and a mini-food processor bowl and blade. that's what i use to make bread crumbs and pie crust.  you could use your blender to make the cashew butter.

                Why is it that "Martha" ASSUMES that everyone wanting to use her recipes HAS a food processer!! Some of us like to do things the old fashioned way!

                Whatever, Martha.  Just buy cashew butter--available at Trader Joe's and most health food stores.

                Helen, being from Canada I just cut the butter into four and use one for 1 stick. American butter is divided into 4 sticks. Our butter is sold in 454 gram blocks.

                Helen, I am from Canada where everything is metric also. For the butter when it calls for 1 stick, I just cut the package of butter into four and use one. As far as I know American butter is divided into 4 sticks which make up a pound, and a pound of butter is 454 grams here.

                to teapot mom, I always use the regular butter and just cut down salt to 1/2 of whatever is originally called for.
                My question-what do you do when you don't have a food processor?

                I have a friend who is allergic to peanuts and this includes ALL nuts, including cashews. Seeds seem to be okay.

                Would anyone know if these might be appropriate to serve to people with peanut allergies (I would always let the allergic person know about the cashews first - just to be sure)?

                Could I use olive oil instead?

                I notice many of the recipes call for unsalted butter.  Can I use regular butter and leave the salt out of the recipe?

                Could you use premade cashew butter instead of grinding your own?
