My first attempt at cookies: cashew cookies

Well, i always wanted to bake cookies. I had this imagination of how home baked cookies will look and how they

The looks did not turn out as expected, but the smell was great and cannot be describe in words. These cookies just melted in my mouth .

butter - 200 gms

powder sugar - 100 gms

egg yolk - 1

vanilla essence - 1/2 tsp

plain flour - 250g

corn flour - 60g

baking powder - 1/2 tsp

cashew nuts - 200gms

egg - 1

cashew nuts for decoration

Lightly roast the cashew nuts and ground them. Mix all dry ingredients are set aside.

add butter and sugar and mix. Add in egg yolk and vanilla essence. Mix well.

Add dry ingredients and grounded cashew nuts. Mix well. Put the dough in fridge for 40 minutes.

Make small balls out of the dough, place them onto baking tray. Brush with beaten egg and place half cashew nut on top of cookies and press slightly to flatten it.

Bake in a preheat oven at 150 C for 15 minutes or until nicely brown.

Cool and keep in airtight container.

Its quite simple to bake cookies. Next time i need to be very careful with measurements.

Next is coconut cookies, one of my husbands favorite.

Happy cooking
