Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1. Sift flour and salt together. Coarsely chop 1 cup cashews; set aside. Process remaining 1 1/2 cups cashews in food processor until finely chopped. Pour in oil. Process until creamy, about 2 minutes.
2. Put cashew mix, butter, and both sugars in bowl. Using mixer with paddle attachment, mix on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in egg and vanilla. Reduce to low speed and gradually add flour mix. Mix in reserved chopped cashews.
3. Shape dough into 1.5-inch balls. Space two inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 6 minutes and gently flatten with a spatula. Bake until bottoms are just golden, 6 to 7 minutes more. Let cool completely on wire rack.
4. Melt caramels with cream in small sauce pan over low heat, stirring. Let cool. Using a spoon, drizzle caramel over cookies; let set. Store in air-tight containers in single layers.
