Chocolate chip cookies have endless possibilities to how you can make them and things you can add into the cookie dough, so every time you make it you can get a different kind of cookie.

These cashew cookies also contain chocolate chips and coconut chips, and are definitely a favorite for adults. I use milk chocolate, but you can use dark or white chocolate according to your personal taste.
