OMG! Ultimate Milk Chocolate Cashew Cookies has my undivided attention. Do they get yours? Hello?! *Wondering…do you think of Adele every time you see the word ‘hello’ now?…because I do, everytime and then I start singing the song in my head.

Just thought I’d share…I’m crazy like that! BTW…Adele is amazing. Hello! And I bet she would absolutely without a doubt, drool over these cookies!

Just the thought of creamy milk chocolate chips married with lightly salted and freshly roasted cashews sounds delicious *in a nutshell — pardon the pun*, but add them in lovely, thick, chewy cookies? May I just say…I think these are very, very good. The ‘sweet and salty’ gets me every time. *I can’t escape!*

So, if you’re on a diet, you might want to walk away…or ‘run’? Don’t even look at them. They will just lure you in, then you’ll blame me and I get blamed for enough as it is. Hello!! 🙂
