Cashew Nut Cookies 腰果曲奇

When I was small, my mom used to make cashew nut cookies during Chinese New Year. I helped out once in a while and I remember myself being the 'fast-handed' one (fast-handed in both making and eating the cookies). Topping the cookies with cashew nut was both the most fun and the easiest part. Crowning those 'bald' cookies kind of gives you a sense of achievement, well, at least to a child. Now? I think popping in those cookies in the mouth is the most fun part!

Those cookies are nutty, fragrant and baked to a nice golden hue. In contrast with my melt in the mouth pineapple cookies, these are for people who are looking for tasty crunch!
