Nankhatai (Indian Shortbreads)
A different take on shortbreads, and really good! Loaded with butter and cardamom, you can also make these biscuits with almonds or pistachios.
Combine flour, cardamom, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cream for two minutes butter and icing sugar with electric mixer. Add yogurt and vanilla. Reduce to low and add flour in thirds. Divide dough in half and refrigerate 4 hours. Roll out to 1/8" thickness and cut into rounds. Press cashew on top. Bake in 350 degree oven for 14 - 18 minutes.
