Coconut Flour and Cashew Nut Biscuits

These Brazilian biscuits are sooo more-ish and divinely simple to make. I love cashews, they are positively the best thing to leave Brazil since Adriana Lima (my mum comes from Rio Grande do Norte, it has the biggest cashew nut tree in the world!) so I just love using them in recipes. My grandad used to send us huge boxes filled with cashews from Brazil when we lived in Venezuela. These biscuits are squidgy in the middle and taste amazing with a strong black coffee. Enjoy!
