Author Notes
Ah. These cookies are so good. One of the reasons they are so good is that I resubscribed to Nature Box. It used to be pretty mediocre, but they have definitely upped their snack game. I decided to add Coconut Cashews to my cart.
Well, it was baking day. I wanted to make something but none of the recipes I had planned sounded good. This is when i start rooting around my cabinets and refrigerator for left over candy, nuts ,etc. to change up an existing recipe. Thus, the Coconut Cashews….they definitely were calling my name. (By the way, it was really hard not to just eat them out of hand!)
If you are not in the mood to order Coconut Cashews from Nature Box, regular ones will do. As will pistachios, pecans, or walnuts. But if you want a truly unique and deli cookie, make the effort to purchase the cashews. —kimbaddd
