    Prep Time30 mins
    Cook Time15 mins

    Ingredients  

    • 1 cup unsalted butter (225 gr), room temperature
    • 1 cup icing sugar , plus 2 tablespoon more (140 gr)
    • ¼ cup powdered milk (30 gr)
    • 1 large egg yolk , room temperature
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 5 oz roasted unsalted cashew nuts (140 gr), blended into powder
    • 3 cups all purpose flour (380 gr)
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • In a bowl, add in butter, icing sugar and mix just until well combined. Add in powdered milk and mix. Add in egg yolk and mix again, just until combined.
    • Add in vanilla extract, baking powder, blended cashew and mix just until well combined. Add in the flour, ⅓ at a time, mixing to combine each time. Switch to spatula when the dough is heavy for the mixer. Form into a ball and cover with cling film to prevent it getting dry.
    • Roll out ⅓ of dough at a time to a more or less 1 cm thickness, in between cling film. Since the dough is a bit sticky using the cling film will make it easier to roll.
    • Dip a cookie cutter in the flour and cut out the dough. Place them on a baking tray with baking sheet. Gently brush the top with egg yolk. Place cashew halves on top, pressing a bit into the dough. Bake at 150ºC (300ºF) preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and fully cooked. Cool completely on a rack.

      The cashew nut for topping is it raw/not roasted.
