Ahh sorry, don’t think that really makes sense, but the point is that it’s cookie season and I am ready!

Wait, I take that back. I actually ran out of butter yesterday (the horror) and need to restock, but I have plans to do this ASAP. Then I will be armed and fully ready.

Speaking of being ready, is anyone else totally ready for the weekend?!?! Why is it that the week following a big holiday is alway so brutal? I kind of just wish the whole month of December could be spent in my PJs’ dancing around to Christmas music and baking cookies.

FACT: it’s secretly my dream to be Mrs. Clause some day. I know that I’m way old enough to know better, but I will forever be a believer.

Never to old to believe. <–truth.

Here’s the deal, these cookies are kind of ideal for all your holiday needs. They’re quick and easy, sweet and salty, chocolatey and delicious. They literally have the most simple ingredient list and are perfect for everything from gifting, to serving at a party… to of course, sneaking away to secretly nosh on yourself…shhh, I will not tell.

Traditionally Crescent Cookies are made with almonds, but I was really feeling the cashews with these cookies. I wanted to keep close to tradition, but yet switch it up a bit, and a cashew crescent cookie that takes a little dip in some chocolate seemed kind of perfect to me.

The cookies are baked, dipped and ready for eating all in under an hour. After that, all you need is a super cold glass of Almond Breeze. The little brother and I (and apparently all his buddies too) are highly digging the Almondmilk Cashewmilk paired with these cookies!

I feel I should note that I’ve made these cookies three times now in the past week. I first made them, photographed them and then barely even got to try them because Red and all his friends rolled on in and decided they needed a four o’clock cookie break (you know, a break from all the hard work of snowboarding). The second time I made them I set them out on Thanksgiving for the family to snack on. They were gone in seconds! The third time I made them, mom and I decorated my Christmas tree.

Also, I feel you should know that these cookies here? They can totally take your mood from minus 0 to a very positive 10. I was kind of having a day the other day. Think complaining, meanness and just general “no fun Tieghan”, but these cookies totally put me in my happy place.

Double also, little brother Red was really digging the Almondmilk Cashewmilk Blend. Who knew it would be his thing?!? Happy surprise for sure! 🙂

Alrighty, and finally, I wanted to share that I have teamed up with Blue Diamond Almond Breeze to launch their new Almondmilk Cashewmilk Blend. This December, Almond Breeze is running an “Imagine the Blendabilities” contest in support of their new Almondmilk Cashewmilk Blend. Head over to Almond Breeze and let them know what YOU would make with Almond Breeze’s new Almondmilk Cashewmilk blend. Your recipe idea will enter you for a chance to win an ultimate kitchen prize pack. Plus, just for entering you’ll receive cost-saving coupons (hurry though, those coupons go fast!).

I’m one of the judges, so if your recipe idea is selected, I’ll create a recipe based on your idea right here on Half Baked Harvest! I’m kind of, sort of, really excited!!

This is something totally new and different for me, what a fun opportunity! I am a huge fan of all of the Almond Breeze milks, but there is so much you can do with the Almondmilk Cashewmilk blend, so clearly I cannot wait to see what you guys come up with!!

Until then though, I highly recommend you make these cookies…like ASAP. Trust me, you need them in your life… now!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the Almondmilk Cashewmilk and vanilla, beat until combined. Slowly add the flour and salt, beat until the dough comes together. If your dough is wet, add another tablespoon of flour, if the dough is dry, add another teaspoon of the milk.
  • Stir in the finely chopped cashews.
  • Roll 1 tablespoon of dough into a crescent shape. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake until light golden brown, 18 to 25 minutes. Cool on trays for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the vanilla bean and 1/4 cup sugar in a food processor, process until the sugar is almost a fine powder, but not powdered sugar.
  • Roll each cookie in vanilla sugar. Dip or drizzle with chocolate and place back on the baking sheet, allow the chocolate to set or stick in the fridge for 15 minutes to help the chocolate set faster. Store in an airtight container.

    1. HI! I think almonds should be great! Fun idea! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you and happy holidays! xTieghan

  1. Hi,

    I made these for last Christmas and they were delicious. I had one problem though. When I drizzled them with chocolate, after it was set, the chocolate didn’t want to stick to the sugar coating. I had put them in the fridge like you recommended. Do you have any suggestions as I am planning to remake these for my daughters wedding.

    Thanks
    Sue

    1. Hi Ariana!! So sorry about that, it is 2 sticks butter and 1/3 cup sugar. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Hope you love this recipe! 🙂

  2. Hello
    Firstly, I would like to thank you for your amazing website. I find such incredible recipes inside. It is incredible, so thank you very much.
    Secondly, my mother is gluten intolerant. Therefore I put chestnut flour and 2-3 tablespoon of gluten free flour. It is good too, but it is still dry even if I baked them only 10 or a little more minutes (the middle of the biscuit isn’t baked, which is good). The biscuit is cracked. Would you have any advices to give to obtain a better recipe ?
    Thanks
    Marine

  3. buena receta para los que hablan español les dejo este sitio en el que encontre como hacer galletas de mantequilla muy facil

  4. Hi I am so going to try these cookies I have always made them with almonds but yum cashews. I just have to know if you had trouble with the sugar not sticking to the cookie after it is baked. I always roll them in sugar before. Thank you so much for wonderful recipes that make me bake outside the norm..

    1. Hi Monica!

      I did not since I roll them well they are still a little warm, but you can roll them before baking too! Hope you love the cookies and let me know if you have other questions. Happy Holidays 🙂

  5. Yep, love these! I always convince myself that I have to will power to not eat these all in one sitting… I’ll let you guess how that goes! ?

  6. Adore these! I’ve been baking with the new almond cashew milk and it’s SO good – I can only imagine how amazing it would be with the chocolate dipped cookies. Swooning!

  7. These look yummy and I’ve never tried putting cashew nuts into cookies before but only now that you suggested it, they seem like a great new addition 🙂

  8. I love your photography in this!
    My Nonna bakes a similar recipe but without the cashews and coated in icing sugar instead. These look delicious and…. Who can resist that chocolate??

  9. Hey, it’s always nice to be a believer.
    I wish we could see more cashew based cookies, so underrated. Love these ones.
