very simple recipe for some very blonde cookies
i actually thought of making cookies with macadamia nuts, but due to me not being organised i had no choice and had to use cashews instead...and i do not regret it at all.
here is what you need
100g chopped cashews
150g chopped white chocolate or white chocolate chips
200g butter, unsalted and softened
125g sugar
1 pinch of salt
1 egg
200g all purpose flour
1tsp baking powder
here is what you have to do
- beat together butter and sugar until soft and creamy
- add the egg, flour, baking powder and salt and mix until completely combined
- fold 2/3 of the chopped chocolate and cashews in until fully incorporated
- preheat the oven to 175 degrees
- drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving at least two inches of space between the cookies because they will spread out
- sprinkle the remaining 1/3 of the the chocolate and cashews
- bake for about 15-20 minutes
- leave the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes before transferrng to a wire rack to cool
- enjoy
