Ed's White Chocolate Chip Cashew Cookies



My Tech Lead, Ed, wanted white chocolate chip cookies but not with macadamia nuts.  He wanted honey roasted cashews.  At first I was not sure, but it was fantastic!  I got the Ghirardelli white chocolate chips and followed their recipe with some minor modifications.




Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups sifted flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups (one 11 oz bag) Ghirardelli Classic White Chocolate Chips
1 can (8 oz) honey roasted cashews

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cream butter and sugars until fluffy, about 5 minutes.  Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time, and beat well.  Blend in flour, baking soda and salt.  Stir in white chocolate chips and nuts.  Drop by large spoonful onto parchment paper covered cookie sheets.  Bake for 10-12 minutes.  Cookies may still look a little uncooked but that is how you want them.  Do not let them brown.  

Happy birthday Ed and thanks for the great cookie idea!
