Preparation

Step 1

Preparation:
In large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar and sugar and beat until smooth and fluffy. Add vanilla, eggs, and egg yolk and mix well.
In blender or food processor, combine oatmeal and white chocolate chips. Grind until particles are very fine. Stir into butter mixture along with flour and baking soda. Stir in chocolate chips and cashews (if using), until blended. Cover and chill dough for at least 2 hours before baking.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Bake at 325 degrees F for 12 to 16 minutes or until cookies are browned around edges and are set. Slide the parchment paper off the cookie sheet onto cooling racks and let cool. Then peel the chocolate chip cookies from the paper and store in an airtight container. Makes about 48 cookies
