Cookies and caramel corn are synonymous with the holidays, right? So I thought, shoot, why double fist the two when you can have them in one bite. I took the base of my favorite brown butter cookie and then punched it up with the sweet kick of crushed caramel corn. Providing the yang, to the ying, are some salted cashews.
