"Dry-roasted cashews add a salty spin to classic butterscotch-chip cookies. Warning, these can become addictive! I've made them fairly diabetic friendly but the regular ingredients are also given."

  1. Anna, awesome cookies. These little treats were perfection. l loved the sweet, salty flavors in this cookie. The cashews are a wonderful addition. The texture and flavor of the cookie is spot on. Thank you so much for sharing another winner. Into my personal keeper box this goes. My favorite cookies from this years tins.
     
  2. We love snacking on salty roasted cashews, so this recipe was a definite draw for me, & the butterscotch/cashew combo was so very satisfying! I did share half of 'em (along with half of another batch of cookies)with those in one of the weekly meetings my other half attends, but we had plenty to keep us going right here at home, too! And, I have the recipe that I'll be keeping around, too! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

  1. These were sweet and salty perfection! I loved the addition of the cashews in cookies, I've never thought of doing that before. I used a mini ice cream scoop to shape the cookies, so that each one came out to be the same size. I also thought it would be fun to use a regular size ice cream scooper to make really big cookies! They came out great! If you make the bigger cookies just bake for one extra minute!
