Caramel Cashew Cookies
Caramel Cashew Cookies have a gooey caramel brown sugar filling and nutty crunch from cashews. Most commonly a holiday cookie recipe, the filled cookies are favorites any time of the year.
Raspberry thumbprint cookies are one of my favorites for Christmas cookie exchanges, bake sales, and for cute gifts to give to friends. With their sweet centers, they make a cute pairing with peanut butter cookies and other sweet & salty cookies.
This thumbprint cookie is a little different because it is filled with buttery caramel. It’s a nutty cookie with my favorite nuts: crunchy cashews! Caramel Cashew Cookies have chopped cashews on the inside, but also a whole cashew on top. They are delicious and beautiful!
