To toast the nuts, preheat the oven to 180 degree C. Spread the cashew nuts on a baking tray and bake them for 7 – 8 minutes until light brown color.
Remove the toasted nuts from the oven and let them cool completely.
Grind the cooled nuts coarsely and set aside.
Grind the sugar into a fine powder and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 180 degree C.
In a mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, powdered sugar, salt and coarsely powdered nuts and mix well.
Then add the softened butter and vanilla essence to it and mix well.
Then sprinkle milk little by little over it and mix it well to make a dough. The dough should be very soft.
Divide the dough into 26 – 28 equal sized balls and press the each ball between your palms lightly.
Place them on a baking tray spacing about 1 inch apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 18 minutes at 180 degree C or until the edges are browned.
