Time 32m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (one stick)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted roasted cashews, coarsely chopped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment or Silpat.
Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and salt and beat until combined. On low, add flour a little at a time and beat just until completely combined. Fold in cashews.
Divide dough into 12 1 1/2" balls, and place on cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass (wet it slightly to minimize sticking).
Bake 15-17 minutes until golden brown. Rotate pans back-to-front and top-to-bottom about halfway through.
When done, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.
