It is time for the #CreativeCookieExchange and this month our theme is caramel. I knew exactly what I wanted to make, but the owner of the recipe keeps it a secret and so I searched the internet for something close. I found these caramel cookies but I tweaked it and boiled the icing and topped it with a cashew. I hope you like these as much as my family and my DAR daughters did!

Spread frosting on each cookie. Press a cashew on top of each cookie.
