  2. Place all ingredients into a food processor, and mix until a loose dough forms and sticks together when pressed.
  3. Roll into a ¼-inch-thick dough between two sheets of parchment paper on a cutting board using a straight-sided glass or a rolling pin to evenly compact the dough. Cut shapes with cookie cutters.
  4. To make the Strawberry Cream Frosting, melt cacao butter and coconut oil over a double boiler. Drain and rinse the cashews.
