    OMG! Ultimate Milk Chocolate Cashew Cookies! You won't want to miss out on this sweet and salty combination of a cookie! 

    Creamy milk chocolate chips married with lightly salted and freshly roasted cashews are soooo delicious in these lovely, thick and chewy cookies!  The 'sweet and salty' with the chocolate chip cookies gets us every time. *We cannot escape!* You may want to check out these Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies too!

    These chocolate chip cookies with cashews definitely have our undivided attention!  Be careful, these will temptingly, lure you in, then you'll blame me and I get blamed for enough as it is.  Just enjoy and leave me out of the blame game. 

    I annointed these OMG! Ultimate Milk Chocolate Cashew Cookies, my favorite Christmas cookie for 2015.  Last year, it was Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies!! But whenever we are talking about chocolate chip cookies in general, I think we can all agree, they all win, in the end! 

    Check this Cashew Peanut Butter Fudge out too for more cashew love! Again, sweet and salty delish!

      Ok thebakingchocolatess....here goes....you're my first rating on any recipe for anyone, anything, anywhere! You're my first because you earned it! If you had 50 stars to offer, I'd rate this recipe that! I'm an older lady so recipes in general, online don't work at all!!! Very few! I know cuz I've tried quite a few! And even most that do work out aren't worth a letter to chef but this recipe is exactly what you say it is!!!! Awesome job!!!!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

      12-14 cookies if you are using the large cookie scoop or 1/4 cup. More if you make smaller and time reduced. Hope you Enjoy!!
