White chocolate and cashew cookies

[wiseheart]

mirasaui asked for the recipe. Here it is, my friend, have fun!

Ingredients:
200 g white chocolate
175 g Cashew nuts
200 g wheat flour
150 g soft butter or margarine
100 g sugar
1 pinch of salt
20 gr vanilla flavoured sugar or some vanilla extract
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder

How to make it:
1. Stir sugar, vanilla and butter until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the egg and the salt.
3. Mix the flour and the baking powder and stir in.
4. Chop cashew nuts and chocolate and add half of it to the dough.
5. Line the tin with baking paper.
6. Roll walnut-sized balls of the dough (putting your hands into water from time to time helps) and lightly flatten them.
7. Distribute the other half of the chopped nuts and chocolate on the cookies.
8. In the pre-heated oven (175 °C) they need roughly 10 minutes, until the edges are light brown.

Personal note: I found that half of the chopped nuts and chocolate is way too much for the cookies. Half the amount would reach completely.

And a reminder: this is what they should look like

Just trying to figure out if I can get unsalted cashews ...

Aldi sells the Happy Harvest brand in 200-gram-packages. Also walnuts and pecannuts and lots of other variations.

Ah - I usually only get the tins with the salted ones.

I do white chocolate and cranberry ones for Christmas gifts. Cashew would be an interesting change, I think.
