Salted Caramel Cashew Cookies Recipe

With the holidays right around the corner, like Christmas is in 3 days right around the corner, I started thinking about new cookie recipes that I could make for the holidays.

Since I knew I was heading back to Oklahoma for the holidays, and I know that my Mom and future Sister In Law LOVE salted caramel anything, I thought up this cookie recipe and decided to give it a whirl before heading home.
