Cashew squares are made with butter, brown sugar, eggs, and chopped cashews.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, stirred or sifted before measuring
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup chopped salted cashews
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons half-and-half
  • 1/3 cup chopped salted cashews

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 350°. Sift flour together with baking powder and salt.
Put eggs in a mixing bowl; add sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Blend in 1/2 cup of cashews and flour mixture. Turn mixture into a 9-inch square baking pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until crust springs back when lightly touched.

Cashew Topping:
Put melted butter in a small mixing bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, cream, and 1/3 cup chopped cashew nuts. Immediately spread over hot baked cookie crust, covering top completely. Place under broiler for about 1 minute, or until topping bubbles and browns lightly. Cut while still warm then cool completely in pan on rack.
Makes about 36 cashew squares.
