- 6 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
- 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
- ¾ cup cashew meal (cashews powdered in blender)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 360 degree F.
Add room temperature butter to a bowl of an electric beat and beat the butter until the butter loosens up, then add sugar and beat butter – sugar mix until they are light and pale in color.
Add the vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt, then add them to the butter-and-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. Dump onto a surface dusted with flour and shape into a flat disk. Wrap in plastic and chill for 60 minutes.
Now take out the dough, pinch marble sized portion of dough and roll into balls. Place it on baking tray lined with parchment paper about 1 inch apart from each ball. Repeat for rest of dough. Place the rolled cookie dough again in fridge for about 15-20 minutes.

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to sit for about 3 to 5 minutes or until they’re still very warm but can be handled. Carefully coat each cookie in the sugar mixture and set aside to cool (they will be fragile while warm).
Let it cool completely and then store it in air tight container for about 1 week.
