Some dairy merry snacking is guaranteed when you pass out these cashew-packed goodies! I found the recipe in a flyer promoting dairy products years ago. It's been this farm wife's standby ever since. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 teaspoon baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup sour cream |
1-3/4 cups chopped cashews |
frosting: |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
3 tablespoons half-and-half cream |
1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
cashew halves, optional |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream butter and brown sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; add alternately with sour cream to creamed mixture. Stir in cashews. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. For frosting, lightly brown butter in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Add cream and vanilla. Beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth and thick. Frost cookies; top each with a cashew half if desired. Yield: about 5 dozen.
