Cashew and White Chocolate Chips Cookies #Creative Cookie Exchange

My kiddo loves Chocolate Chip Cookies, but then it has to be brown Chocolate Chips......Once I tried replacing brown Chocolate Chips with White Chocolate Chips... And she completely refused to eat those cookies... I couldn't think of any cookie delite, which she likes it, and she can also take it to the school for her snack time... The only thing, which I thought will work, was replacing Brown Chocolate Chips with White Chocolate Chips...  Then, I remembered her, taking a second serving of Cookies in my friend's place... Those Cookies had nuts playing hide-and-seek.... So, my idea originated of Cashew and White Chocolate Chips Cookies... The original recipe of Chocolate chip Cookies, I got from "Host The Toast", but over time I did lots of change suiting my taste and requirements.


Lots of tricks, I learnt from my own mistakes while making these cookies... And one of my favorite trick is, mix it while you are in kitchen stirring something in pot and keep it in refrigerator.. And whenever you have time, bake it... I baked it next day... And I think, I got the best results...

Every month, we get together to bake delicious cookies... The theme this month is White Chocolate! White Chocolate is seriously underrated as a baking ingredient--it compliments so many other flavors so nicely, like citrus, spices, berries, winter squash, etc. So, if you want to see all the ways white chocolate can be used to make terrific cookies, you have to come to the right place!

Here, is the amazingly easy recipe of Cashew and White Chocolates for you to try....

Ingredients required for 24 cookies- 

  1. Butter - 1 1/2 stick (at room temperature)
  2. Brown Sugar - 1 cup
  3. White Sugar - 1/2 cup
  4. All Purpose Flour (Maida) - 2 cups + as needed
  5. Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
  6. Baking Powder - 1 tsp
  7. Salt - 1tsp
  8. Cashew - 3/4 cup (broken)
  9. White Chocolate Chips - 1 1/2 cup
Directions - 
  • Mix butter, brown sugar and White Sugar together. I prefer to use a wooden spoon to mix it... And mix until it is well combined.

  •  In another bowl, mix All Purpose flour with Salt, Baking powder and Baking soda. Add this mixture to the Sugar mixture. Add cashew and White Chocolate Chips.


  •  Mix until Cashew and Chocolate Chips, are well incorporated in the dough.


  •  Keep in refrigerator for minimum 1 hr, or maximum for 3 days. I normally, make the dough ready, cover it a plastic wrap and keep it in refrigerator until I am free and ready to bake. 
  • Lined the baking tray with a parchment paper. Scoop the Dough with an ice-cream scoop, and place on the tray about 2" apart.


  •  Now, bake the cookies, for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges have turned light brown in color.


  •  Let it rest on the tray for 5 minutes. And then transfer to the cooling rack for further cooling.


  • Enjoy it with a glass of milk...

I think cashews go so nicely with white chocolate chips-- the saltiness is just right with the sweet chips.

Cooling cookie dough does seem to work the best for most cookies I bake, too. Great choice to combine cashews and white chocolate...Of course any nut with white chocolate works for me...But I am especially fond of those lovely cashews = )

Good tip on refrigerating the dough, Shilpi. I often freeze mine as well, either in balls ready to bake or rolled into a log to slice and bake. Your cookies look lovely!

Baked Peas Kachori #Breadbakers

Image
I have very beautiful memories from my Childhood for all traditional foods... Peas used to be a seasonal vegetable when we were growing up... It wasn't like today, that frozen peas was so easily available throughout the year... Peas starts coming in the farmer's market, by the end of November.... But, it use to be very costly, and by the mid of December, the peas were abundantly available in all the Veggie's market.... We were staying in the rural area, and my mom used to buy Peas with cover in a bulk... Me and my sister, use to help her in peeling those Peas, and then she makes small portion packets, and freeze it.. So, that we can enjoy Peas even in summer.  So, these Kachori's became our weekend breakfast in Wintery months... I tried to make it as good as my mom, but then her cooking has a special touch of love, which makes the food much more tastier.... You can fry these Kachori's as well as bake them...  She use to make both of them, as my dad was

Cooking is an art... And presenting your food is another art... Well, I believe if food in front of you doesn't look appetizing to you, then you are not going to enjoy the food... So,most of the time, I try to present the meal beautifully, which attracts the family itself to the dinner table... Every month, I bake with Bread Bakers... Every time, I try to come out of my comfort zone, and try to bake something which is new to me... This month's theme is Yeast Flat breads... Being Indian, I always make Flat Breads, as it is our staple food..... So, I decided to bake something about which I have never heard off... And google landed me to this Italian Flat bread " Focaccia". It is the best bread I ever had... So, full of flavors, and delicious... I got this recipe from All Recipes .com .... But, altered it according to my taste... #BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme.
