Take the dough out, smoothen a lil bit, sprinkle some flour and roll it to ½' thickness. Using a cookie cutter or a knife, cut down the cookies to make shapes. I used a square cookie cutter.
Top the biscuits up with the chopped cashews and press. Place in a cake tin/tray, keep a piece of butter paper and keep the cookies in. Place the tin inside the cooker and bake in med-low flame for 15-18 mins.
You can also bake it in your oven at 160 C for 20 mins if you wish to bake in oven.
