CREAMY CASHEWS

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter, softened (Land 'O Lakes)

2 cups firmly packed brown sugar (I use light)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2/3 cup sour cream

3 cups roasted cashews, chopped

Whole cashews, for garnish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 cookie sheets. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Beat butter and brown sugar in mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. At low speed, beat in sour cream, then dry ingredients. Stir in cashews.

Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets. Bake 12 minutes, until lightly browned. Repeat with remaining dough.

Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat, until lightly browned. Remove from heat; whisk in confectioners’ sugar, then cream and vanilla until smooth. Spread warm frosting on cookies. Garnish each with a nut. Makes 9 dozen.
