In a bowl, beat sugar and ghee well until light and creamy. Add essence and beat for another 1 minute.
Add maida mixture, powdered cashew nuts, and cornflakes, mix gently to form a smooth dough using water if needed.
Keep this in the freezer for 12-15 minutes.
Now divide the dough into 18-20 equal parts. Roll them into balls and press each ball to about ½ inch in thickness. Put some cashew nuts on top of each cookie.
Place the balls on a greased cookie sheet about inch apart.
Bake the cookies for about 15-18 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven. Let the cookies cool down for 5 minutes.
Cashew Cornflakes Cookies are ready.

You can even make the cookie dough in advance and bake it when needed.
