Cashew Cookies (Cute crescents) and Award Time again !!!!!!

Now, the fall has started here at our place, leaves have changed colours and breezy winds in the evenings...these are the times that make you all the more lazy, sitting idle at home and feel to munch something with a hot cup of tea,Isn't it?
Cashew cookies is one good answer to this,the name itself depicts the recipe and the taste to it.I made these on a cozy evening and I must admit that the best cookies ever made by me as they all disappeared in a span of 15 minutes.The real delightful ones and very tasty ones too..My biggest reward was that kids loved the shape and taste as well :-) The munching went on untill we saw the platter it was empty!!!
