Cashew-Lemon Shortbread Cookies image

I made these as a snack at my daughter's first b-day party, and the kids loved them. My husband takes them to work every once in a wile and I haven't heard a complaint yet. His boss's wife called me for the recipe. They are just plain, simple, and DELICIOUS!!!
