Cashew Biscuits 400g

Cashew Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (150g) cashews (unsalted, shelled)
• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter (softened)
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: A pinch of cinnamon for warmth

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Cashews:

   • Place the cashews in a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground. Like with pistachios, leave some small chunks for texture.

3. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cashews, salt, and baking powder. Add cinnamon if using.

4. Cream the Butter and Sugar:

   • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

5. Add the Wet Ingredients:

   • Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined.

6. Combine the Mixtures:

   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until the dough comes together.

7. Shape the Dough:

   • Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball with your fingers or the back of a spoon.

8. Bake:

   • Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

9. Cool and Serve:

   • Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Enjoy:

    • These cashew biscuits are perfect with tea, coffee, or as a snack on their own.

These biscuits have a rich, buttery texture and a subtle sweetness, with the cashews adding a pleasant crunch and flavor. You can also dip them in melted chocolate or dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of indulgence!
