I am already back in KL for over a week. What have I been doing? Eat, eat and eat. I have been spoiled rotten by my families. Anyway, I managed to bake a few types of cookies with my nieces for CNY. Here is one of them.Ingredients :
210g butter
100g powder sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
250g plain flour
60g corn flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
200g ground cashew nuts
1 egg (beaten for eggwash)
some exra cashew nuts for decoration
1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degree F. Sift all the dry ingredients and set aside.2. Cream butter with powder sugar until light. Add in egg yolk and vanilla essence. Mix well.
3. Stir in the dry ingredients and ground cashew nuts. Mix well. Chill dough in fridge for 40 minutes.
4. Shape the dough into small balls or roll it out and cut into desire shapes. Arrange on a lined baking tray. Brush with beaten egg and place half cashew nut on top of cookies and press slightly to flatten it.
5. Bake for 15 minutes or until it is nicely brown. Cool and keep in airtight container.

I tried the cookies and they were great. My favourite cookies. But I had a bit of trouble converting the measurements to cups and Oz. Is it possible to post the same recipe with the measurements in cups.
Thanks for the great recipe.

Hi,
Don’t mean to ask stupid question. Did you use roasted cashew both for ground and decoration?
I am concern will the cashew nuts burn if using roasted ones.
Thanks.
Melissa, I used the roasted ones and it turns out ok
