Spicy Pandan Cashew White Chocolate Cookies Recipe
- 16 tablespoons unsalted butter (2 sticks), soft at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons pandan paste
- 4 ounces white chocolate chips or roughly chopped candy bar
- 4 ounces chile-lime cashews, coarsely chopped (Trader Joe's brand is perfect)
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0F.
- In mixing bowl, beat eggs with sugar until foam is pale yellow and the texture of the eggs is thicker, about 5 minutes. Add vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder and cream of tartar.
- Cream butter with brown sugar. Add egg mixture and dry ingredients and mix. Add pandan paste. This is where dough will turn crazy green. (This is also where a purist would use liquid extracted from soaked pandan leaves for color and flavor, but nothing about these cookies is really traditional so it's OK. Then again, I actually prefer garish green pistachio gelato to the pale naturally hued version. It's up to you.) Mix well, and incorporate cashews and white chocolate bits.
- Drop big spoonfuls onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- Bake for about 5 minutes at 375u0b0F, then lower heat to 350u0b0F for another 6 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer the cookies to cooling racks.
