    Cashew & Cardamom & Lime & Sugar

    18 February, 2014 by Kip 10 Comments

    Cashew Lime Cardamom Cookies

    I made these easy vegan cookies, which were a hit, for the last London Vegan Potluck. Like with most dishes I bring to potluck, I throw a bunch of stuff in a bowl and hope it works (to anyone from the London vegan community who reads this, I confess you are my guinea pigs). I'm a little more precise when it comes to baked goods, and so I have a written recipe I'm able to share.

    Cardamom and lime are a natural pair, but the odd flake of sea salt absolutely marries the two. The spice is mellow but present, so pay attention while you eat 16 cookies in one sitting. No judgement.

    Recipe Notes

    Cashew Lime Cardamom Cookies

    Please note the recipe uses cashew pieces rather than whole cashews. Due to the fact that I'm a cheapskate and can't have nice things, I've never made the recipe with the latter. If you're posh enough to own entire cashews, opt for weighing rather than measure-cup-ing (which everyone should do anyway). I'm also pretty sure you could use other butter substitutes, but I'm qualifying the brand since I've received complaints of recipes not working stateside when subbing with Earth Balance. But really, it should work.

    Cashew Cardamom Lime Cookies

    Makes 16-18 Cookies
    • Ingredients
      • 35 grams (¼ cup) broken cashew pieces
      • 120 grams (1 cup) pastry flour
      • 3.5 grams (2 teaspoons) corn flour
      • 2 grams (1 teaspoon) ground cardamom
      • 1 gram (¾ teaspoon) lime zest
      • 1 gram (½ teaspoon) baking powder
      • 1 gram (¼ teaspoon) flaked sea salt (i.e. Maldon)
      • 65 grams (¼ cup + 1 tablespoon) Pure brand vegan butter substitute
      • 60 grams (⅓ cup) light brown sugar
      • 15 millilitres (1 tablespoon) soy milk
      • 10 millilitres (2 teaspoons) fresh lime juice
    • Directions/Method
      1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
      2. Whiz the cashew pieces and flour in a food processor or high speed blender until the nuts are finely ground. A few small chunks are okay. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour mixture to combine with corn flour, cardamom, lime zest, baking powder, and sea salt.
      3. Beat the Pure and sugar in a separate large bowl until fluffy. Beat in the lime juice and soy milk. Add the flour mixture and beat on low until just combined.
      4. Form the dough into 1 tablespoon balls about two inches apart on the lined baking sheet. Lightly press each to about half an inch in thickness. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cookies are slightly golden around the edges and lightly brown on the bottom.
      5. Leave to cool on a wire rack (or not – who am I kidding? I'm mostly too lazy to dig that thing out of the cabinet).

        Thanks for letting me know! I've had problems with people stealing content recently, so have been experimenting with ways to deal with the situation. It should be fixed now...

      I've never left a comment on a recipe before but I had to for these. They are absolutely amazing! Literally the tastiest, and quickest biscuits I've made in ages. Looking forward to working my way through your other recipes!!

    A thoughtful read for long time vegans and nonvegans alike, this is one of the best styles of arguing for and discussing veganism I have yet to find. Highly recommended reading.
