CASHEW BUTTER COOKIES



Cashew Butter Cookies image

Rich cookies become richer with cashew butter. Cookies can be baked so they are either soft or crisp.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 22

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cashews. This will ensure that your cookies have a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Toast the cashews before grinding them. This will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Be careful not to overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a high-quality frosting. This will make your cookies even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Cashew cookies with burned butter frosting are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from casual get-togethers to holiday parties. With their rich, nutty flavor and creamy frosting, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
