Detailed Steps for Making Cashew Nut Cookies

First, prepare all the necessary ingredients and accurately weigh them one by one.

Since the cashew nuts are raw, it is best to roast them first to make them more fragrant. This step cannot be skipped, otherwise your cookies will not be as fragrant as mine. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius with both upper and lower heat, and roast the cashew nuts for 10 minutes. Take them out and let them cool.

Beat the egg in a bowl, add peanut oil and sugar, and stir until completely blended. Sift all-purpose flour and baking powder into the bowl of egg mixture, and stir until no dry flour remains.

Add roasted white sesame seeds, roasted black sesame seeds, and crushed cashew nuts. Since the cashew nuts are quite large, they need to be crushed. You can use a rolling pin to crush them, or simply break them into smaller pieces with your hands. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with disposable gloves.

Do not immediately divide the dough after mixing. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes. This will make the dough more fluffy and the cookies more crispy.

Divide the rested dough into 16 small doughs of equal size. Flatten them with your hands to make them as even as possible in thickness. You can also use cookie or mooncake molds to press them into beautiful patterns.

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius with both upper and lower heat, and bake the cookies on the middle rack for 25 minutes. After cooling, they will be crispy and fragrant, and become more delicious as you chew.
