Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 200 grams candied ginger
- 150 grams Pastry flour
- 50 grams ground almonds
- 70 grams sugar
- 1 egg
- 130 grams butter
- Pastry flour (for the worktop)
- 13 unsalted, untoasted Cashews
Preparation steps
Chop half of the candied ginger finely. Mix the flour with the cashewnuts, chopped candied ginger and sugar in a bowl, make a well in the center and add in the beaten egg. Sprinkle small pieces of butter around and mix the ingredients until crumbly with a large knife.
Quickly knead into a smooth dough with hands. Shape the dough into a ball, cover in plastic wrap, and let rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and roll out each portion on a floured surface to a roll of diameter 2 cm (approximately ¾ inch).
Cut down each roll into 1 cm (approximately ½ inch) slices and shape each dough slice into small balls. Place the balls on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
To make the cookies, make a small well in the middle of each ball with the handle of a wooden spoon. Cut the remaining candied ginger into small cubes and fill half of the cookies with it. Fill the other half with halved cashews.
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 200°C (fan: 180°C, gas mark 3) (approximately 400°F) for 10-12 minutes. Take the cookies out from the oven, allow to cool and serve.
