Instructions
1
Melt the butter

2
Cool the butter
When the pan takes on a toasted color, remove it from the heat and set it on a damp kitchen towel to cool.
3
Mix in the nuts
Add the white sugar, salt, cashews, and walnuts to the butter from step 2 and stir until the white sugar is fully dissolved.
4
Combine with the dry mix
Add the mixture from step 3 to a bowl containing dry mix A and stir evenly with a plastic spatula.
5
Rest the dough
Knead the mixture from step 4 into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
6
Bake
Place the pieces on a baking sheet with some space between them, then bake in an oven preheated to 170°C for 20-25 minutes.
7
Coat with powdered sugar
Once step 6 is baked and the heat has dissipated, place the cookies into a plastic bag containing powdered sugar. Hold the bag with one hand and rotate the cookies with the other hand until they are evenly coated with powdered sugar.
