INDIAN-SPICED CASHEW-LIME COOKIES
Brightly colored spice mixes and candy-coated seeds are offered after dinner in many Indian restaurants. We used a mix called red mukhwas to garnish our cube-shaped spice cookies. Look for mukhwas and similar blends at Indian markets. Colored sprinkles and nonpareils can be substituted.

Steps:
- Cookies:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse cashews with 1/2 cup flour until nuts are very finely ground. In a bowl, whisk to combine cashew mixture with remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder, salt, zest, cardamom, and cayenne pepper.
- In a separate bowl, beat butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add lime juice and egg, and beat until combined. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture and beat just until combined.
- Divide dough into quarters, and shape into 3/4-inch square logs. Chill 30 minutes. (Dough may be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated up to 1 week or frozen up to 3 months; bring to room temperature before proceeding.) Slice logs to form 3/4-inch cubes. Press top of each cube gently to round corners; place cubes on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden on edges and bottoms, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on wire racks.
- Lime Glaze:In a small bowl, whisk to combine confectioners' sugar and lime juice until smooth. Use immediately.
- Brush the top of each cookie with glaze. Sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon spice blend on top of each cookie. Let set 30 minutes. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
FRIED CASHEWS WITH LIME ZEST AND CHILE
This is my take on a popular bar snack in Thailand: freshly fried cashews tossed with salt, chiles, scallions, and lime zest. Simple but so good with a beer.

Steps:
- Fill a small saucepan with 1 inch oil and set over medium heat. Line a plate with paper towels and set it near the stove.
- When the oil is shimmering-hot, carefully add the cashews and fry, stirring constantly, until light golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Keep in mind: The cashews will continue to cook after being removed from the oil and become a darker shade of brown, so it's best to remove them when they are still a little pale. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cashews to the paper towels to drain.
- Place the hot cashews in a serving bowl and sprinkle evenly with the salt and brown sugar, tossing to coat. Add the scallions, chile powder, and lime zest and toss once more. Serve warm.

SPICED GINGER CASHEWS
Want to really spice things up? Make these simple roasted cashews with sugar, ground sugar, and cayenne pepper. A frothy egg white helps the spices to stick the nuts and create an irresistable crunch. Serve warm on a charcuterie board or with drinks for an at-home happy hour.
