Cashew Nut Cookies



I came across this cashew nut cookies recipe on the Y3K Free Recipes website today and decided to try it out! It was time to clean up my pantry anyway... I have so much left over nuts and dried fruits that needed to be consumed fast.

This batch of cashew nut cookies came out great with the buttery, salty, sugary, and nutty taste to it. It reminded me of the Chinese New Year peanut cookies.

Makes ~35 cookies
Ingredients:
A:
125g butter
100g sugar
Ingredient

B:

2 egg yolks

½ tsp salt

C:
175g plain flour

150g cashew nuts

25g tapioca flour


For glazing:
1 egg yolk

Method:

1. Beat ingredient A till creamy.
2. Add in ingredient B, beat till it is light and fluffy.
3. Put plain flour and cashew nuts of ingredient C into a food processor, beat till the nuts turn powdery. Remove it and add in tapioca flour, mix well.

4. Add no.(3) into no.(2). Mix well.

5. Remove the dough. Shape into cashew nut shapes. Put on a greased baking tray. Glaze with beaten egg yolk.

6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for 20 minutes till golden in color. Cool well before served.
