Ingredients

• 2 cups salted cashews
• 1 1/2 cups mostly melted butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 Tablespoons molasses
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 3 cups flour

Directions

1. You need 1 1/2 cups finely ground cashews. I used 2 cups halves and pieces and ground them in the food processor. Make sure and pulse them…you do not want cashew butter!

2. Mostly melt the butter in the microwave. Dump it in the mixing bowl and add the sugar, vanilla and molasses. Stir until blended and add the soda, powder and salt. mix well.

3. Add the nuts and mix. Break the eggs into the bowl you used to melt the butter, mix them up with a fork and add to the mixing bowl. Then add the flour one cup at a time, mixing between each cup.

4. Place cookie dough into the fridge to rest. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease cookies sheets.

5. Spoon cookie dough onto the cookie sheet. Dough should be the size of a walnut.

6. Bake at 350 for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Cool on the cookie sheet for at least 2 minutes. If the cookie starts to fall apart, wait another couple of minutes for it to firm up. Then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
