Ingredients

Makes about 3 dozen.

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 1/2 cups roasted salted cashews

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon canola oil

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

24 cubes soft caramel candy (7 ounces)

1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Sift flour and salt together.

Coarsely chop 1 cup cashews; set aside.

Process remaining 1 1/2 cups cashews in a food processor until finely chopped.

Pour in oil.

Process until mixture is creamy, about 2 minutes.

Put cashew mixture, butter, and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Mix in egg and vanilla.

Reduce speed to low; gradually add flour mixture.

Mix in reserved chopped cashews.

Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls; space 2 inches apart on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.

Bake 6 minutes; gently flatten with a spatula.

Bake until bottoms are just golden, 6 to 7 minutes more.

Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks.

Melt caramels with cream in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring.

Let cool. Using a spoon, drizzle caramel over cookies; let set.

Store airtight in single layers.
