Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F. and butter a large baking sheet.
  2. Coarsely chop cashews. Into a bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl with an electric mixer beat together 3 eggs, zest, and vanilla until just combined. Stir in flour mixture and beat until a stiff dough is formed. Stir in cashews.
