If you are from India, you might have definitely tasted Karachi Bakery cookies or at the least heard of it. So, I was craving them so much that I made a double batch of the cookie dough. I used basic shortbread cookie dough & mixed cashew flour to give that rich cashew flavor to the whole cookie. And then topped it off with some bits of broken cashews to give that slightly toasted & crunchy top once they are baked.
Enjoy the yummy cookies with some Indian Tea or some Coffee. They taste awesome either way.
