For a richer flavor, toast the cashews lightly before chopping. Be careful not to overbake the cookies, as they will become dry. The browned butter icing can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before using. If the icing becomes too thick, add a little more milk to thin it out. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
