If you like the tasty combination of Sweet & Salty you will LOVE this recipe!
I host a Cookie Exchange for family & friends each year. Since 2004, my Christmas Cashew Drops have been the hands down favorite of the exchange. This simple frosted cookie has a unique flavor with the cashews giving them a salty crunch.
Great recipe to make ahead, bake & freeze.
(I recommend when freezing to bake cookies, freeze then ice cookies when defrosted)
