Chocolate Chip And Cashew Gourmet Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups minus 2 tablespoons white flour
1 2/3 cups bread flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups chopped milk chocolate
3/4 cup cashews, coarsely chopped
sea salt, for sprinkling

Preparation

Sift together the flour, bread flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and set aside.
In another bowl, cream together the butter, shortening and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Add the chocolate chips and cashews to the dough. Stir well. This will be very thick, and I sometimes use my hands to mix together.
Using a spoon, scoop the dough into a rough ball, about the size of a golf ball, and place on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and bake until light brown and and set for about 9-10 minutes in a 350 degrees oven.
Cool cookies on a cooling rack and enjoy!
