Servings 3 dozen cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla paste or extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped salted roasted cashews plus additional for garnish
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips + 1 cup melted for garnish
  • 1 jar of your favorite caramel sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  • Line cookie sheets with parchment, set aside.
  • In large bowl add the flour and baking soda, mix well to combine, set aside.
  • In the bowl of mixture cream the butter and sugars.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla, mix well.
  • With mixture on low add in the flour mixture and mix until dough forms.
  • By hand fold in the white chocolate chips and cashews.
  • Using standard cookie scoop, scoop dough onto cookie sheet.
  • Roll each dough mound into a ball and flatten with palm of your hand.
  • Bake until golden brown on the edges, about 11-12 minutes.
  • Upon pulling tray out of the oven press a 1 inch indentation into each cookie, I used bottom of a shot glass.
  • Let cookies cool completely.
  • When cookies are cooled add a small amount of soft caramel into the well you created in each cookie.
  • Drizzle each cookie with melted white chocolate and sprinkle with chopped cashews.
  • Store in airtight container.

Notes

You will not use the entire jar of caramel.
Caramel should be at room temp for easier pouring onto cookie.
For the caramel I used a piping bag with no tip, I cut the end so only a small hole was made. A spoon will work good also.
