Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp water
1 pinch cream of tartar
1/2 cup finely chopped roasted cashews (salted or unsalted) or 1/2 cup raw cashews ( salted or unsalted)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla (can increase this to 1 tsp, if you like )
1 cup flour

Directions:

Make cashew praline: In a heavy skillet cook sugar with the water and cream of tartar over moderately high heat, washing down any undissolved sugar that clings to the sides of the skillet with a brush dipped in cold water, until the mixture is a light caramel. Quickly stir in cashews. Pour the praline onto a buttered piece of foil and with a buttered spatula spread it into a thin sheet. Let it cool until it hardens and chop it coarsely.
In a bowl beat butter with sugar until creamy. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Stir in flour and 2/3 of the chopped praline and form the mixture into a dough.
Drop the dough by heaping teaspoons onto a lightly buttered baking sheet about 2 inches apart, flatten slightly and sprinkle with remaining praline. Bake at 350° F for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 1 minute and with a spatula remove them to a rack to cool completely.
