2 cups brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
6 cups flour
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 pint sour cream
1-1/2 cups cashews, in large chunks

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla together until well blended.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternately with the sour cream.
