Chocolate Chunk Cashew Cookies
10 servings
40 minutes
Cookies with chocolate chips and cashews are a true symbol of home comfort from American cuisine. The history of this dessert dates back to the 1930s when Ruth Graves Wakefield accidentally added chocolate pieces to the dough, creating the legendary cookie. Its taste is a harmony of crispy dough, tender butter, and sweet chocolate, complemented by the nutty hint of cashews. Such cookies are perfect for cozy evenings, a cup of hot tea or as a sweet addition to coffee. They are equally loved by adults and children, and the addition of cashews makes them slightly more refined and adds a pleasant textural variation. Baked to a light golden hue, they retain their softness inside and crispness outside, providing delight in every bite.
