These spicy shortbread cookies are heady with the flavor of cardamom with bites of candied ginger. The barley flour gives them a little nutty flavor and a more chewy texture but you could use all all-purpose flour.

To make it like the picture above top each cookie with:
Mango Salad
Makes ~2 1/2cups
2 ripe mangoes, cut into 1/2 inch dice
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon lime juice, more to taste
-Mix ingredients together and store for an hour or more in a refrigerated covered container.
-Serve on top of shortbread.
Cashew Cream
This makes way more than needed to top the cookies. You can use the rest on top of fruit, cereal or granola or freeze it and eat it like ice cream.
Makes 2 cups
1 cup raw cashews
1 cup water
1 tablespoon of agave nectar (or your choice of sweetener), more to taste
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 tablespoon lime juice
-Blend the nuts and water on high until smooth and frothy.
-Add in the sweetener, lime juice and zest. Taste and adjust accordingly.

You could use ginger instead of the cardamom.
