Ingredients

Cookie

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened

1 large Land O Lakes® Egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/3 cup sour cream

1 3/4 cups cashew halves

Frosting

1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter

2 cups powdered sugar

3 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

 

Cashew halves, if desired

How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Heat oven to 350°F.

  2. STEP 2

    Combine brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add egg and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour, baking powder and baking soda alternately with sour cream, beating at low speed until well mixed. Stir in cashews.

  3. STEP 3

    Drop dough by level tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.

  4. STEP 4

    Melt 1/2 cup butter in heavy 1-quart saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 4-6 minutes or until butter foams and just starts to turn golden. (Watch closely.) Immediately remove from heat. Pour into medium bowl; cool 5 minutes.

  5. STEP 5

    Add powdered sugar, milk and vanilla; beat until smooth. Frost cooled cookies. Top with cashew half, if desired.
