Cashew Shortbread

Overview

Cashew shortbread is a very simple, no-failure handmade biscuit that beginners can try to make. When making, use an electric egg beater to beat the butter until fluffy, which will make the finished biscuits crispy; add baking powder and mix the dough, let it rest for 1 hour, let the baking powder stay in the dough for a period of time, and promote the crispy texture of the cashew shortbread; the finished biscuit base should be brushed with egg wash and then pressed with cashews, so that it will not fall off after baking. Let’s make these delicious cashew shortbread cookies.
