Cashew Shortbread image

Molly Katzen (author of the legendary "Moosewood Cookbook") has a food column in my daily paper in which this recipe appeared shortly before the Christmas holidays. I made these and they were so good! The perfect treat for afternoon tea (or coffee)!

Time 30m

Yield 48 small cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup finely minced cashews
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (plus extra for handling the dough)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and sugar; beat at high speed for appx 3 minutes with electric mixer.
  • Stir in cashews.
  • Sift flour, salt, & baking powder directly into the bowl.
  • Use your hands to mix the dough as quickly and efficiently as possible; form into a rough ball.
  • Lightly flour a clean, dry work surface; add dough and roll out to appx 1/4" thick.
  • Cut into simple shapes and place them on ungreased cookie sheet. (I cut them into diamonds, similar to bakalava -- didn't want to over-work the dough by re-rolling).
  • Bake in center of oven for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom.
  • Cool for at least 10 minutes before eating.

I'm not a huge fan of cashews, but these cookies were surprisingly good! I'll definitely be making them again.

These cookies were a little too sweet for me. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These cookies were too bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more sugar next time.

I made these cookies gluten-free by using almond flour instead of all-purpose flour, and they turned out great!
