Chocolate Chip Cashew Nut Cookie Recipe

My craving for chocolate continues with Chocolate Chip and Nut cookie.. with the adapted version from Chocolate Chip Walnut Recipe here. Instead of making them with walnut, I replaced them with cashew nuts. They are still super yummy, soft and delicious. 

 

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 9-11 minutes per batch (depending on the size of the cookie and until it turned slightly brown)

Ingredients

250 gm of salted butter

1/2 cup of granulated sugar

3/4 cups of soft brown sugar

3/4 cups of brown sugar

2 eggs

3 2/5 cups of plain flour (my dough was still sticky even with extra flour..will probably need to add slightly more next time)

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips (I used mixed milk chocolate and semi sweet - ran out of semi sweet :D)

1 cup of raw cashew nuts

Pre-Steps

Preheat oven at 190 degrees Celcius.

Steps

1. Pan roast the cashew nuts for about 5 minutes on low fire until brown. 

2. Crush the cashew nuts into smaller size and set aside.

3. In a mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, soft brown sugar and brown sugar until soft and thoroughly mixed.

4. Add in 2 eggs, beating one at a time at low speed.

5. Add in plain flour, cornstarch, baking powder and baking soda and mix at low speed until thoroughly mixed. (Will need to add in more flour if the dough is still wet)

6. Combine with chocolate chips and cashew nuts using a spatula.

7. Prepare the baking tray and lined it with baking sheet. Roll the mixture into a ball about 1 inch in diameter. Ensure there are space between them as the cookie will flatten out as it bakes.

8. Bake in the oven for about 9 minutes.
