Cashew & Cardamom & Lime & Sugar

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 (1/4 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 (3/4 teaspoon) lime zest
    • 1 gram (1/2 teaspoon) baking powder
    • 1 gram (1/4 teaspoon) flaked sea salt (i.e. Maldon)
    • 65 grams (1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon) Pure brand vegan butter substitute
    • 60 grams (1/3 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).

    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!!

  • I repeat myself every holiday season: I don't like Christmas but I like cookies. Many of you may be surprised to learn one of my favourite purchases of the year used to be the Martha Stewart Christmas cookie magazine, which they sadly seem to have ceased publishing. I'm always excited to see new and old ideas come to life both in print and on screen. These pocky sticks are based on the @nytcooking version, only mine are vegan. Holidays or not, no one needs to lose their life to have a good biccie. These were fun to make and I'm already thinking of other possible flavour combinations I could use. I also veganised the brown sugar anise cookies (with slight modification) and citrus stamped shortbread from NYT Food, but don't have photos of those.⁠

  • This is laap tod, a deep fried version of a popular salad in Thailand. Laap is a sour and spicy salad made with ground meat, lots of herbs, and crunchy ground toasted rice. To make laap tod this mixture is made into meatballs and fried. As you can see, it's perfectly possible to make a vegan version. I'll be serving this, along with the items below (subject to ingredient availability but I'm not anticipating any hiccups sourcing), at my next supper club on December 6. There are still a few tickets left. Link in bio and all that.⁠

  • 🇹🇭 Khao sen nam dtai are the noodles of dreams. A prevalent Tai Yai food in Mae Hong Son, these extruded rice threads are served with a pork tomato broth. Here @omnimeat is used in place of pork. Pork rinds, also easily made vegan, are common accompaniments. Another usual dish to occur alongside khao sen are papaya fritters (kang pong). A massive thank you to @napatcs mother for making us this incredible meal!⁠

  • 🇹🇭 During the vegetarian festival in Phuket there are hundreds of vendors hawking vegan grub. Most of the dishes served are either Southern or representative of favourites from regional Thai cuisines that have become uniformly appreciated and available across the country.⁠
⁠
Then there's Raan Jay (as in older sister, not the vegan diet jay) Rin (a name, I think) Aahaan Nuua (Northern food), who offers an immense spread of Northern Thai foods. I bought a selection, including nam prik noom (a relish made with grilled long green chillies) with pickled bamboo shoot, kaeng prik makua yao (long green aubergine stir fried with chilli, oil, sichuan peppercorn, galangal), kaeng ho (a Northern curry where at least one curry is stir fried with glass noodles and other bits – a great way to use leftovers), kaeng kanun (jackfruit curry – how good is it to see jackfruit without BBQ sauce?), kaeng hua plee (banana blossom curry).⁠
⁠
The only problem is there's no garlic during the jay festival and Northern food is incomplete without it.⁠
⁠
Northern Thai cuisine is, unfortunately, quite underrepresented in the Thai food repertoire outside of the North itself, and I have heard central and Southern Thais express negative opinions about the food from this region because it is so unique compared to other parts of the country.⁠

  • 🇹🇭The more I travel in Thailand the more mindful (in the sense of being informed, not full of woo) I am of deviations in regional cuisine. I snuck into my friend's makeshift kitchen at the vegetarian festival tent in Hat Yai in order to witness her in action. I had to snap this photo quickly before she emphatically pushed me back out front ("you go sell my food! Go sell!"). ⁠
⁠
This is her kaeng som, or sour curry. In the rest of Thailand, to differentiate from the central style of sour curry, this curry is referred to as kaeng luang. The word luang translates to yellow, only this is not the mild coconutty yellow curry on restaurant menus outside of Thailand. By contrast kaeng luang is redolent with fresh turmeric and chillies that set your innards alight. ⁠
