Dark Chocolate Cashew Lace Cookies
3/4 cup very finely chopped lightly salted cashews
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 tablespoon cream or half-n-half
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 oz. dark chocolate
Stir together cashews, butter, sugar, corn syrup, cream and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Boil 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla and flour until combined. Place mixture in a medium bowl, and chill 30 minutes in refrigerator, or until cold.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll teaspoons of dough into balls. Place on cookie sheets, spacing about 3 inches apart. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool 2-3 minutes before transferring cookies to wire racks to cool.
Melt chocolate in a small bowl, in the microwave for 1 minute, or until melted. Spread a thin layer of chocolate on the bottom halves of cookies. Press two cookies together to form a sandwich; repeat process.
Makes 6 large cookies
I don't know about Trader's Joe cookies but these one looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThose are some of my favorite cookies. YUM!
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious and crunchy! yum!
ReplyDeleteDark chocolate is so much better than milk! In my opinion. These look so good.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious, I bet they taste better than the store bought ones:)
ReplyDeleteThose cookies sound great! I have had something similar before, but not the TJ ones, and definitely not homemade!
ReplyDeleteYUM...those look ridiculously good!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to know how to make these because I find them SO addictive! You're the best.
ReplyDeleteThose are some of my favorite cookies in the world :D you did a great job of replicating them! can't wait to try them out myself!
ReplyDeleteI love lace cookies. Now, that you have showed me the way, I should really make these.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteI made something similar the other day (salted peanut florentines) but I didn't know that you can chill the mixture and roll it into balls and bake like cookies (florentines tend to spread a lot when baked, at least mine did in the hot Greek weather). I will give this recipe (and technique) a try soon.
Yes you should! Hopefully the humidity doesn't make it too difficult.
DeleteI've never been able to get lace cookies right. Maybe I should try these and see if this time I'm successful. It's tempting!
ReplyDeleteThey are tricky. It might take a couple of tries to get them right.
DeleteI've never tried the Trader Joe's lace cookies, but now I want to skip right over the store bought and eat homemade. Yours look so good! And I love the cashews in them :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Cashews aren't just for cashew chicken! :)
DeleteNow I want to make these (they look delicious!), but I better wait until the humidity goes back down to a normal level. I imagine they would stay quite sticky in this weather. I love cashews! And chocolate! :)
ReplyDeleteCathy, you're probably right! I'd like to make your Blue Moon ice cream.
DeleteI think cashews sound better in these - yum! Nice job with your recreation :)
ReplyDeleteI really try not to buy too many "goodies" but these are a TJ's favorite :)
