To pre-roast the nuts, spread nuts in the prepared tray in thin layer and bake at 180✬ for 10 mins or until golden and fragrant. Interested? So stay tuned.ġ50g all purpose / plain flour - do not use cake flourġ00g vegetable oil, preferably smooth and neutral-tasting oilĮgg wash: 1 egg yolk or 1 whole egg - the above tip 3, lightly beatenĮxtra flour to dust, preferably cake flour with low protein - see the above tip 8 but you can use another melt-in-the-mouth Chinese cashew butter cookies recipe which is going to be published my next post! What is difference? My next Chinese cashew butter cookies are melty too with pockets of buttery crumbs and they are way more sturdy to handle. Sorry that I can't suggest any more baking tips further. I don't recommend you to bake these ultimate melty cookies if you have to stack these into big jars and transport them to sell. Ten: These cookies are too melty for you!!!Īre these melty cookies too difficult for you to bake and handle? I know. Hot freshly baked cookies will break very easily!!! Then, transfer the cookies onto a wire rack to cool completely. Nine: It is a must to leave the freshly baked cookies to cool slightly on the baking tray for about 10 mins! To make the cookie dough, you MUST use plain / all purpose flour or else your cookies will fall apart very easily! To maximize their melty taste, you should try to use the minimal amount of flour to dust and use cake flour with low protein instead of all purpose / plain flour to dust while rolling. The cookie dough made with ground cashew tends to be moister and wetter than the one made with ground almond and so you will need a lot more flour to dust while rolling and cutting the cookies.

Three: It is a must to glaze the tops of the cookie dough with egg wash.Įight: Use cake flour with low protein content to dust. because these cookies that are larger than 4 cm in diameter will break very easily. but anything larger that this size is a NO NO!!!. The largest size of the cookie cutter I would use is 4 cm in diameter. Two: Do not use large cookie cutter to cut the cookies. These cashew nuts cookies are very crumbly meaning that if you cut the cookies into fiddly shapes with sharp and tiny corners, it will make the cookies break into pieces very easily! One: Use cookie cutter with simple shapes. For this reason, I have 10 important baking tips to share. to the extent of being ultimate melty! So melty that they can be quite fragile to handle. What really surprise me that these cashew cookies with lesser dietary fiber and more saturated fat, sugar and sodium turns out to be extremely melty! Melty. So, which nut makes better cookies? Cashew, of course! LOL! Almond is obviously a healthier nut to eat! Less sugar, less sodium, much more dietary fiber. So, which nut is healthier? Almond, of course! Although both nuts are about the same in their protein content (cashew 18g per 100g, almond 21g per 100g), almond contains 12g dietary fiber which is 4 times more than 3g per 100g dietary fiber in cashew nuts. It is pretty obvious!!! Cashew nuts are tastier because they contain 6g sugar and 12 mg sodium per 100g whereas almond contain 4g sugar and 1 mg sodium. "Mum, I like cashew nuts more than almonds." I know. The cashew nuts are creamier because they contain 8g saturated fat per 100g and the almond nuts contains only 3.7g saturated fat per 100g which is less than half the saturated fat in cashew nuts. The Ultimate Melt-in-the-Mouth Chinese Cashew CookiesĬomparing almond and cashew nuts by weights, I'm surprised to learn that the creamy cashews nuts contains 44g fat per 100g which is lesser than almond nuts (49g fat per 100g). Very different yet very very very yummy! So yummy that these melt-in-our-mouths cashew cookies are extremely addictive! Of course, I can but due to the fact that cashew nuts are nutritionally very different from almond, these cashew cookies turns out to be very different. Different taste! Different texture!Īfter tasting and loving the sweet, salty, crunchy almond cookies that I baked with recipe one at here, the curious me wonder if I can use the same recipe to bake cashew cookies.
