Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose plump, juicy raisins and fresh, unsalted cashews.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the cashews and raisins by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
  • The dough will be sticky, so it's important to chill it before shaping the cookies. This will help them hold their shape better.
  • If you don't have parchment paper, you can grease a baking sheet and flour it lightly.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown on the bottom and just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Raisin Cashew Drops are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy with a sweet and nutty flavor.
