In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and sugar together. Slowly add the clarified butter, stirring as you go, until you get a soft dough that’s easy to handle. Just three simple ingredients and you’re ready to shape your cookies!
Step 2
Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them evenly on a baking tray.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes. Then bake the cookies at 170°C (340°F) for 15 minutes.
Step 4
While the cookies are baking, melt the chocolate in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between so it doesn’t burn.
Step 5
Once the cookies are done, take them out and let them cool completely. When they’re cool, dip the top of each cookie into the melted chocolate and sprinkle some chopped cashew nuts on top.
Step 6
That’s it! Your easy, tasty chocolate cookies are ready to enjoy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use brown sugar instead of powdered sugar?
It's best to use powdered sugar for the right texture, but brown sugar can work with slight changes in taste and texture.
How do I make clarified butter at home?
Melt unsalted butter slowly, skim off the foam, and pour off the clear liquid, leaving milk solids behind.
Can I substitute nuts with something else for garnishing?
Yes, you can use almonds, walnuts, or skip nuts altogether if preferred.
What if I don’t have a microwave to melt the chocolate?
You can melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove, stirring gently until smooth.
How long can I store these cookies?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?

What if my dough feels too dry or too sticky?
Add a little more clarified butter if dry, or a bit more flour if sticky, until you get a soft, manageable dough.
Can I bake these cookies at a different temperature?
It’s best to follow the suggested temperatures for even baking, but you can adjust slightly if needed, watching closely to avoid burning.
