I made these as a snack at my daughter's first b-day party, and the kids loved them. My husband takes them to work every once in a wile and I haven't heard a complaint yet. His boss's wife called me for the recipe. They are just plain, simple, and DELICIOUS!!! Ingredients:
1/2 cup roasted cashews |
1 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons lemon extract |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
additional sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°. Place cashews in food processor; process until finely ground. Add butter, sugar, lemon extract and vanilla; process until well blended. Add flour; process using on/of pulses until dough is well blended and forms ball.
2. Shape dough in 1 1/2-inch balls; roll in additional sugar. Place about 2-inches apart on ungreased baking sheet; flatten slightly with bottom of glass dipped in sugar.
3. Bake 18 minutes or just until set and edges are slightly browned. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
