Cashew Nut Cookies~

Keke... it's a little too early for Chinese New Year goodies ya. But i wanted to try out the recipe to see what i can bake for CNY, which is just 2 months away ya~ These are much better than the Gram Nut Cookies ya!

The original recipe comes from Kuali - Malaysia recipes - Hup Toh Soh recipe, but i made some modifications to transform them into cashew nut cookies~

Recipe:

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup castor sugar

  • 1 cup cooking oil

  • 60g chopped cashew nuts

  • 2 cups flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

  • 20 Cashew nuts (untoasted)

  • 1 egg , lightly beaten for glazing

  • 1 tsp almond essence

Directions

  1. Sift flour, baking powder, bicarbonate soda and salt into a mixing bowl. Add sugar and chopped cashew nuts. Combine well. Gradually pour in the oil and mix well. Knead to form a smooth dough.

  2. Split the cashew nuts into halves.

  3. Divide dough into 50g portions. Roll into balls and place them on a baking trayed lined with baking parchment paper. Place a halved cashew nut on the dough ball and press down slightly.

  4. Brush them with the lightly beaten egg mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 ÂșC for 14 minutes or until golden brown.

Enjoy~ :)
