Cream the Butter and Sugars:

-
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, beating until everything is well combined and forms a smooth dough.

Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
-
Add Chocolate and Nuts:
- Stir in the white chocolate chunks, walnuts, and roasted cashews until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
-
Shape and Bake:
- Using a 1/4 cup measure, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.

-
Bake to Perfection:

- Keep a close eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
