Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Add eggs one at a time and mix well, then add vanilla extract and blend until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.

Fold in milk chocolate chunks and cashews, reserving some for decoration.

Drop scoops of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Press reserved chocolate and cashews on top.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown while centers remain soft.

Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
