Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
⅓ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cups chopped cashews
½ cup butter
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, beating well, then stir in the sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Fold in cashew pieces. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
