CASHEW BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine 1 3/4 cups cashews with canola oil, and process until smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. (You should have about 3/4 cup puree.) Set aside until completely cool.
• Coarsely chop cashew nuts, and reserve for garnish.
• In a medium mixing bowl, sift the flour and salt together; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, cashew puree, and both sugars, and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until well combined, about 30 seconds. Add the flour mixture, and mix on low speed, just until combined, about 20 seconds. Wrap dough in plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Have ready two baking sheets lined with parchment paper, and set aside. Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough (1 1/2 ounces), and shape into a ball. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing dough balls 3 inches apart. Dip the tines of a fork in flour, and press into the dough balls to make vertical and horizontal indentations. Sprinkle reserved cashew nuts on top.
• Bake 10 minutes. Rotate baking sheet, and bake 6 to 8 minutes more, depending on whether a soft or crisp cookie is desired. Transfer cookies with the parchment to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

CHOC CHUNK, CASHEW & CRANBERRY COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Scatter the cashews over a baking tray and toast for 5-7 mins until golden. Cool, then roughly chop.
• Meanwhile, grease and line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Sift the flour, baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt into a large bowl, then stir in the sugar. Cut the butter into rough cubes, and add this and the nut butter to the bowl. Rub together until the mixture resembles damp breadcrumbs.
• Using a cutlery knife, work the egg and syrup into the bowl to make a soft dough. Tip in the chocolate, nuts and cranberries (if using), and stir to combine. Try not to overwork the dough at this point.
• Roll slightly heaped tablespoons of dough into balls and place onto each baking sheet, leaving plenty of room for the cookies to spread. Bake for 12 mins or until golden at the edges and risen in the middle. Let them cool for 5 mins, then move to a rack to cool completely. Repeat until all the dough is shaped and baked. To make ahead, freeze the raw cookies on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag or box once solid. Bake from frozen, adding 5 mins to the cooking time.

CASHEW COOKIES

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
• Pulse 1/2 cup nuts in a food processor until finely chopped, being careful not to process to a paste, then transfer to a large shallow baking pan. Toast nuts, stirring every 2 minutes to prevent edges from burning, until pale golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
• Whisk together flour and cornstarch in a bowl.
• Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes in a stand mixer or 5 with a handheld. Add toasted ground nuts and salt and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low, then add flour mixture and mix just until a dough forms.
• Form dough into a rectangular block and roll out between 2 (12-inch-long) sheets of parchment with a rolling pin into a 10- by 8-inch rectangle.
• Chill dough in parchment on a baking sheet until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, coarsely chop remaining 1/4 cup nuts.
• Discard top sheet of parchment and sprinkle dough with coarsely chopped nuts. Bake until golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer shortbread to a rack and cool completely, then break into rough shapes with your hands.

CASHEW FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Mince the garlic. Chop the cauliflower.
• Make the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the pasta until it is al dente (start tasting a few minutes before the package recommends: you want it to be tender but still a little firm on the inside). Then drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
• Meanwhile, start the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven, pot, or saucepan (that has a cover) over medium heat. Add the cauliflower and cashews and saute for 4 minutes until lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the vegetable broth, onion powder, black pepper, nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook 6 to 7 minutes on medium high heat until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork.
• Blend the sauce: Carefully transfer the contents to a blender and add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon more black pepper. Blend on high until a smooth sauce forms.
• Serve: Pour about 5 cups into 1 pound pasta (1 cup will be left over), or use it to taste. Top with finely chopped parsley and serve immediately.

• Repeat with remaining cookie dough. Store in airtight container up to 1 week (though they won't make it that long without being eaten - just sayin').

GLUTEN-FREE VEGAN FLOURLESS COCONUT CASHEW COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside.

LOW CARB CASHEW COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
• Combine all the dry ingredients. Combine all wet ingredients in a separate bowl. And then combine them to make the dough.
• Refrigerate the dough, covered for 30 minutes or so.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients to make a dough and roll into 24 evenly sized balls, about 2 tbsp each. I used a cookie scoop.

VEGAN WHITE CHOCOLATE AND CASHEW COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/400°F/gas mark 6 and line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper. Add the softened butter or margarine, caster sugar, light brown sugar and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl and cream together - you can use a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda into the butter or margarine mixture and mix together until crumbly. Add the milk and mix to create a thick cookie dough. Add the 50g of chopped white chocolate and the 50g of chopped cashew nuts to the dough and mix. Your cookie dough will be very thick, but sticky enough to easily roll into balls. Roll into small balls of 40g each (1 heaped tablespoon), and space out evenly on the lined baking trays. Press down only slightly to flatten the tops (not too much - you still want them to be ball-like). The cookies will spread out a lot, so give them room. Before baking, press the remaining chopped nuts and white chocolate into the tops of the cookies. Bake for 10 minutes in the centre of the oven. When they come out of the oven, the edges of the cookies will be firm, but they will still be soft in the middle. This is fine as they will firm up as they cool down and set. Leave on the tray to cool down. These are best enjoyed on the day of making. Store in a sealed container at room temperature and eat within a few days. Holly's tip: To make the cookies equal-sized, place a cookie cutter of a similar size around each cookie in turn and nudge it slightly to shape it as it comes out of the oven.

TOFFEE CASHEW COOKIE RECIPE:

• 5) Using about one to two tablespoon of dough, round (I use two tablespoons to make my dough balls) and place on baking sheet. You can leave dough in "rustic" mounds or press to about 1/2 inch thick discs (should be about 2 inches in diameter). I made three rows of three on a standard size baking sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes until just browned around the edges. Let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet then transfer to cooling rack. Batch yields about 18 cookies.
• Storage Will keep for 2 to 3 days at room temperature or 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator. They also freeze nicely and taste delicious right out of the freezer.
