COCONUT CASHEW COOKIES



Coconut Cashew Cookies image

I just love nuts, especially cashews! So, about 15 years ago I started experimenting with making a cashew cookie based on the Betty Crocker® peanut butter cookie recipe. Over time, I have become gluten-free, so I've also tried a variety of gf flours. Finally, I meet with success! This is a moist cookie that holds up to dunking in tea or coffee with a nutty, light, mildly sweet flavor that is a bit exotic. Make these for afternoon tea parties or pull some out for surprise guests.

Time 2h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups roasted, salted cashews
4 teaspoons peanut oil, divided
7 teaspoons water, divided
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup coconut oil
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 ½ cups quinoa flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon xanthan gum
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
⅛ teaspoon ground mace
2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Place cashews, 1 tablespoon peanut oil, and 1 teaspoon water in a food processor or blender; pulse until cashews are ground. Add 1 tablespoon water to cashew mixture and pulse until a thick and chunky paste starts to form. Add remaining 1 tablespoon water and 1 teaspoon peanut oil to mixture and pulse until desired consistency is reached. Measure 1/2 cup cashew butter and store remaining cashew butter in a container in the refrigerator for another use.
  • Mix brown sugar, white sugar, cashew butter, coconut oil, butter, and egg in a large bowl. Combine quinoa flour, baking soda, xanthan gum, cardamom, and mace in a separate bowl; pour into sugar mixture and mix until dough easily forms into a ball. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate dough for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Spread coconut flakes into a shallow bowl. Form cookie dough into small round balls using a spring-loaded scoop. Roll each cookie dough ball in the coconut and arrange on a baking sheet. Press each ball with a fork dipped in quinoa flour, making a criss-cross pattern.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are lightly browned on the edges, about 8 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

COCONUT CASHEW COOKIES



Coconut Cashew Cookies image

Two years ago I bought a huge bag of cashews from Sam's Club because I love them so. However, this bag was so big and I ate & ate and it seemed to not make a dent. So, I got on the internet and was searching for something to make with the cashews and came across this recipe. Now, normally I will give you the site to where I got...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 c sugar
1 c butter or margarine, softened
1 medium egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 c flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 c flaked coconut
1 1/2 c cashews, salted and chopped
1 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 and then beat together your first 5 ingredients until nice and creamy. Next add your flour, salt and baking soda an mix. Now add your coconut and cashews and stir together with a spoon.
  • 2. Now, use a cookie scooper or spoon and drop them onto a parchment lined cookie sheet pan. Bake from 8 to 10 minutes until lightly golden brown. Let sit for 2 minutes before removing from pan. These cookies are super chewy and delish!!!
  • 3. Tibby loved the aroma of these delicious cookies and temptation got the better of her. She scratched at the cabinets and dishwasher trying to find a way to get a cookie.....poor Tibby....her just want one cookie...purrrty please Momma....can I have one? LOL

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in the best-tasting cookies. For example, choose unsweetened shredded coconut, fresh lime juice, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies to hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Use a toothpick to check if they are done baking - it should come out clean when inserted into the center of a cookie.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature: The cookies will stay fresh for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These coconut cashew cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with a combination of coconut, cashews, sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. The cookies are then baked until they are golden brown and crispy. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
