Cashewnut Cookies

Cashewnut Cookies (Pic by June Carvalho)

I BAKED these cashewnut cookies on the weekend and they turned out really good. Crisp and crunchy. Not too sweet. Above all, uncomplicated and easy to mix, roll out and cut to shape.

Bake a few batches of assorted cookies and pack them to make lovely gifts for occasions like the birthdays of your dear friends. (I put these together with coconut cookies and chocolate and almond swirls).  Don't forget to add lots of love as the special ingredient. No store-bought gift can match the love and personal touch lent by the creation of your own hands.

What you need:
250 gm flour
150 gm butter
150 gm sugar
50 gm cashewnuts
A tbsp of milk, if required

Powder the nuts in a small blender. Cream the butter and sugar. Fold in the flour and powdered cashewnuts and knead lightly to a smooth dough. Sprinkle a little milk if required. Roll out to 1/8" thickness and cut out shapes with a biscuit cutter. Place on greased trays and bake in a pre-heated oven at 170 degrees C till light brown around the edges. About 10 - 15 minutes.
