Why You’ll Love These Salted Cashew Cookies
Flavor! This cookie recipe STARTS with a salted browned butter base which imparts tons of nutty flavor into the cookie. Add to the chopped salted cashews, buttery toffee bits, and melty chocolate chips! Texture! This cookie bakes up with crispy, buttery edges, and soft, gooey centers, plus the crunchy cashews and soft chocolate chips. A texture dream! Ease of Prep! This cookies come together super easily. The longest part of the prep is simply allowing the browned butter to cool off.
Why Brown the Butter?
Using browned butter in this recipe adds another layer of flavor to these cookies that is my favorite secret trick when making chocolate chips cookies. You can absolutely skip this recipe is for some reason you don’t have time or like brown butter (gasp!) BUT I highly encourage you to try it. If you love the Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that makes the cover of my book (recipe also here on my site) you will really love these cookies too!

How To Make Salted Cashew Cookies
Prep your ingredients: Brown the butter and allow that to cool first. While the butter is cooling get your eggs out of the refrigerator to come up to room temperature. Chop up the cashews into small pieces and set those aside. Measure out all your dry ingredients, chocolate chips, and toffee bits to make your process easy.
Mix up the cookie dough as stated in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. You can even skip using a stand mixer since you’re butter is melted if you prefer. The dough is easy to mix by hand and this saves washing your mixing bowl
Use a large cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. A 3- tablespoon scoop is what I recommend, but you can always use a smaller (or larger) scoop if you prefer. Just adjust the bake time slightly to accommodate! Once they’re baked allow them to cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
How To Store These Cookies
At room temperature these are great in a ziptop bag or airtight container for up to 5 days for best freshness. You can also freeze these cookies airtight for up to 2 months in an airtight container. Allow them to thaw at room temperature and enjoy!
