This is the time of the year for all things cookie. I really wanted to create a recipe for a cookie that had the salty sweet combo. I wanted something original and not something that we have all seen a million times. I wanted it to be in the traditional cookie shape and something that could be prepped quickly. I wanted the cookie to hold up well to being frozen but most importantly I wanted the cookie to taste good. These Salty and Sweet Cashew Toffee Cookies fill all of those requests. They are the perfect combination of salty and sweet in a scrumptious chewy cookie.

What is your favorite holiday cookie? Are you a thumbprint fan? Do you preferJam Filled Shortbread Thumbprint Cookies,Peppermint Chocolate Thumbprint CookiesorDouble Chocolate Cherry Cookies. Are you a chocolate chip cookie fan? Do you like the niceThick Chocolate Chunk Pecan Cookies? There are so many cookies and so few days until Christmas.

The dough needs to refrigerate for several hours as we tested through trial and error. They just seem to end up at the perfect height when the dough was stiff and cold. If you can’t work it with a cookie scoop then just roll it between the warmth of your hands. I like large chunks of cashews so I halved part of them and chopped part of them. If you don’t like large chunks than chop them all.

TheseSalty and Sweet Cashew Toffee Cookies can be frozen ahead of time. I pack all my cookies in doubled Ziploc freezer bags and place them in sturdy glad-ware containers. When defrosting take them out of the containers frozen and place on serving trays or platters uncovered. Never allow them to defrost in the plastic and the containers. The condensation that builds in there will ruin the cookies.

So if you are looking for something a little different this year. Something that is going to make their ears perk up and tantalize their taste buds than theseSalty and Sweet Cashew Toffee Cookies are the cookie for you.
