Salted Cashew and Dark Chocolate Cookies
The beauty of discovering a great cookie recipe is that it is then within your power to create endless flavour combination variations - but knowing that the Base is always going to work and come out tasting amazing.
The secret to this recipe is a couple things. Firstly, a good quality dark chocolate will really pay off in the taste - Especially as it is left in quite large chunks. Secondly is to buy the roasted and salted cashews which have a rich flavour. Thirdly is to sprinkle with a small of salt flakes. These melt on the tongue with a salty hit, without overpowering the whole taste.
Be careful when these are in the oven: there is only a small window of a couple minutes between undercooked and overcooked!
These can also be Frozen in cookies, and cooked straight from frozen to give fresh cookies whenever you might desire it.
