i never have cashew cookies this year but in the past, the ones that i bought seem to be lack of cashewnut taste..i guess there's very little ground cashewnuts in it. But here, i can see there's generous amount of ground cashewnuts..mmm..must be goood!

ReplyDeleteHi Lena,
ReplyDeleteThank you .... this recipe is a keeper, I like nuts, just greedy, add extra nuts in it ... and happy with the end results, ie. crunchy and very tasty.
Hi Wen,
Thanks for sharing this recipe to us. The cookies taste fantastic. I got the other tray which I baked longer and darker colour (like yours), it taste more fragrant. I certainly will make this again, and will bake it longer.
