Sweet and salty chocolate chip cashew cookies. The perfect snack to bring to work or school.
I was about to buy pumpkin. I really was. But then I walked down the nut aisle, and I saw the cashews.
I must admit, whenever I see cashews, I forget about most other things. I suddenly wanted to make some sweet and salty cookies. Some sweet and salty cookies with cashews in it.
Since I’m going to do my two week practicum tomorrow teaching high school math, I needed to de-stress with some baking.
And stress eating. Seriously, I don’t think these cookies will last until morning. They are that good.

We always have cashews in the house!
Aren't cashews the best? Seriously one of my favorite salty snacks! These cookies look so good! I hope you have a good start to your practicum. Can't wait to hear how it goes!
I totally know what you mean. Cashews are one of my favorite nuts of all time. Haha. I would LOVE them in cookies!
Cathleen, I love cahshews! Geez, I should have bought a packet the other day. Regrets!
Hi Cathleen, your cookies look so addictive. Great to go with coffee. :))

Good luck on your practicum. Maybe you should hand out these cookies to start! That should help – but not that you need any!

Best of luck on your practicum. I am so glad those days are long behind me. Lovely cookies.
Good luck on your practicum! My sister's finishing up hers in Hawaii!
Who needs pumpkin when we can have cashews and chocolate chip. Love it.
All the best for your practicum, you'll rock it.
I don't think I've ever seen cashews in cookies before! Good call.
I never think of adding cashews to cookies, great idea!
oh boy, i can't even count the ways cashews are superior to pumpkin! this is an interesting and fantastic use for them, and the texture of your cookies looks perfect. 🙂
Great idea to add cashews to a classic chocolate chip cookie! There are so many pumpkin recipes out there so it's a nice change to see something different. Happy accident that you turned to cashews, instead of pumpkin (not that there's anyting wrong with pumpkin). 🙂

I make a cranberry chocolate chip cookie with walnuts, never thought of cashews. Made them after seeing this recipe with the cashews instead of walnuts and it really brought them up to another level. Thanks for sharing.
Xxx
Yay! I’m so glad you liked it!
Do the cashews have to be raw or salted? I need to make some for my father on Father’s Day and I want to be entirely accurate at the best way to make this recipe.
It’s really a preference thing. I prefer them salted because I love the sweet and salty combo, but raw cashews also work well.
