Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
  3. Combine the margarine, oils and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or a hand-held mixer; beat on medium-high speed for about 4 minutes, until fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating well after each addition.
  5. Add the vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well. Stop the motor and use a spoon to stir in the flour and chopped cashews.
  6. Scoop out the dough by heaping tablespoonfuls, roll into 1 1/2-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on the baking sheets (the cookies do not spread). Flatten slightly with the tines of a fork and press a cashew half on the top of each cookie, if desired.
  7. Bake for 6 minutes, then rotate the sheets front to back and top to bottom; bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until the cookies start to brown.
  8. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before storing.
  9. Adapted from “The King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion” (Countryman Press, 2004).

    This is my recipe and I want to make it clear that this is not a flourless recipe. That was my error.

      Chaya, these look excellent. I'm going to make these for me as they must have lots of cashew flavor.

        I am sorry, I didn't answer you. I make my own mixture by using brown rice flour, tapioca flour and potato starch. Brown rice is predominant. If you prefer white rice flour, that can be used also.

          Your recipe sounds tasty. Which kind of gluten-free flour do you use in it? White rice flour or something else?
