Cashew Ghoriba Biscuits Recipe — Authentic Tunisian Treat

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup cashew nuts (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg (beaten)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

    Sifting the flour can help avoid lumps.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and chopped cashew nuts until smooth.

    Use room temperature butter for easier creaming.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cashew mixture. Mix until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the biscuits tender.
  5. Add Egg and Vanilla

    Stir in the beaten egg and vanilla extract until the dough comes together.

    If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
  6. Shape the Biscuits

    Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

    Leave space between the biscuits as they will spread.
  7. Bake the Biscuits

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    These biscuits can be stored in an airtight container.
