Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cashews (the original recipe calls for unsalted, but i''ve always used salted)
Directions:
- Cream together the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl.
- Add the egg, vanilla and lemon juice, and beat until light and fluffy.
- Combine the flour, cashews, cardamom, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
- Add the flour mixture to the brown sugar-butter mixture, mixing ingredients together thoroughly (dough will be quite dry, but will roll into balls easily).
- Using about 2 teaspoons of dough, roll into little balls and place on ungreased baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 11 to 14 minutes, until cookies are just beginning to brown slightly on the bottoms – do not overbake.
- Remove cookies from oven and immediately roll them in powdered sugar.
- Cool cookies on waxed paper or wire rack before storing them in a tightly covered container.
- NOTE: You can grind the nuts in a food processor, if you prefer, but add 1/2 cup of the flour (from the 2 cups used in the recipe) to the nuts before processing – this keeps the nuts from getting too oily when ground. I’ve always just used my nut grinder, and that works fine, too.
- ADDITIONAL NOTE: I made these again today, and I actually prefer to flatten each ball with my finger tips. The cookies come out crispy, and can be coated with powdered sugar or left plain. Try them both ways to see which way you prefer.
