1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups finely chopped cashews

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

Combine butter and sugar in large bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add egg; continue beating until well mixed. Add melted chocolate; beat until well combined. Reduce speed to low; add flour, chopped cashews, cinnamon and salt. Continue beating until dough forms.
