Britannia Good Day Cashew Cookies, 216g
Against the plain Good Day, the cashew does not add a flavour so much as take away the cleanness. It brings oil rather than crunch, so the biscuit reads softer where somebody reaching for a nut cookie expects the opposite, and whoever liked the plain one for being plain will not prefer this. For a nut biscuit that does not crack, it is exactly right. It contains cashews, and that is the thing to check before it goes anywhere near a shared table.
Britannia Good Day Cashew Cookies, in brief.
Britannia Good Day Cashew Cookies is the nut version of the Good Day butter cookie, cashew worked through a short sweet dough at the same 216g weight as the plain one, picked into the Teas.co.uk selection as the better of the two beside a strong milky chai.
Cashew is the mildest and oiliest of the common nuts, so it deepens the butter rather than fighting it, and the oil holds the sweetness down and stretches the finish. Still short enough to collapse rather than snap: three seconds in the tea.
The second thing is that the nut earns its place. Cashew is the mildest and oiliest of the common nuts, and both of those properties matter here. Mild means it does not fight the butter the way an almond or a hazelnut would, so you get one flavour with depth rather than two competing. Oily means it changes the texture and the finish, not just the taste.

The Story Behind The Pack
Nut cookies are a much bigger part of the Indian biscuit aisle than they are of the British one, and the reason is the drink they are built around. Chai is strong, milky, sweet and usually spiced, and a plain sweet biscuit next to it can disappear entirely. A nut cookie has something the chai cannot cancel out: oil and a faintly savoury depth that sit underneath the spice rather than competing with it. That is why this format sells in the volumes it does, and it is why the cashew version is arguably the better buy of the two Good Day cookies for anyone who drinks their tea strong.
The texture is the part people notice second. Nut oil in a dough makes an already short crumb slightly heavier, and the visible pieces interrupt the bite, so where the plain version collapses evenly this one is briefly uneven wherever a fragment turns up. That unevenness is most of the pleasure and it is also why two of these register more than three of the plain ones do.
What we will not tell you is how many cookies are in the pack, because that figure is not published at product level, and we would rather state nothing than estimate. The one thing we will state without hedging is the presence of nuts, because the product name settles it.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
Our Commitment To The Planet
- The pack that arrives is the current UK retail pack rather than an import made to a different recipe for another market.
- Nut oil turns rancid faster than plain butter does once it meets air and warmth, so a pack you will finish inside a fortnight is the size that stays worth eating. This is the one biscuit in this part of the range where storage is a flavour question and not only a texture one.

The taste profile
How does it compare
Brew strong. The nut oil gives this cookie enough weight to stand against a properly heavy cup, which is precisely what the plain version cannot do as well, and a weak or delicate tea leaves it sitting there with nothing to push against.
The Chai Mug
The Coffee Plate
Made with this tea
The Chai Mug
How to make The Chai Mug with Britannia Good Day Cashew Cookies.
- 2 cashew cookies
- 2 bags strong black tea
- 150ml whole milk
- Cardamom, ginger, sugar to taste
- Simmer the tea, milk and spices together for five minutes rather than steeping in the mug.
- Strain and let it settle a moment before dunking.
- Dunk three seconds. The crumb sets the limit, not the nuts.
- Stop at two. The nut oil stretches the finish and the third is rarely needed.
The Coffee Plate
How to make The Coffee Plate with Britannia Good Day Cashew Cookies.
- 2 cashew cookies
- 1 mug plain black coffee
- Brew plain and black rather than espresso; short and dark is still too much for a cookie this size.
- Eat them dry alongside. Coffee is thinner than chai and takes a short crumb apart quickly.
- Notice that roast meets roast here, and the nut oil stops the coffee flattening the biscuit.
What you'll end up with: A better coffee pairing than the plain version manages.
Cardamom Coffee And Cashew
How to make Cardamom Coffee And Cashew with Britannia Good Day Cashew Cookies.
- 4 cashew cookies
- 2 mugs black coffee
- 2 cardamom pods, cracked
- Crack the pods into the grounds before brewing rather than dropping them in the cup.
- Brew as usual and serve black.
- Eat a cookie between mouthfuls. This is the best single use of the pack.
What you'll end up with: A classic combination that rarely disappoints.
A Rustic Base
How to make A Rustic Base with Britannia Good Day Cashew Cookies.
- About half the pack, crushed
- 60g melted butter
- A 20cm tin
- Crush the cookies. Nut pieces keep the crumb coarser than the plain version goes.
- Use less butter than usual; the nut oil already contributes and too much makes the base greasy.
- Press firmly and chill an hour before filling.
- Tell anyone eating it that there are nuts in the base.
What you'll end up with: A coarser, nuttier base than a plain cookie gives, and one that suits a sharp filling.
Putting Them Out For Guests
How to make Putting Them Out For Guests with Britannia Good Day Cashew Cookies.
- The pack
- A pot of strong tea
- Say what is in them before the plate goes down, not after. Every time, without exception.
- Keep a plain biscuit on a separate plate if anyone is unsure.
- Reseal the pack afterwards; nut oil turns faster than plain butter.
What you'll end up with: A plate nobody has to ask about, which is the only way to serve a nut biscuit.

| Ingredient | Proportion | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Cashew | through the dough | The mildest and oiliest of the common nuts, so it deepens the butter rather than competing with it. Visible pieces interrupt the crumb, which is what makes the bite briefly uneven. |
| Baked butter cookie | the body | Still the base of the biscuit, and it arrives at the same moment as the nut rather than before it. The crumb is short and collapses quickly. |
| Nut oil | carried by the cashew | Gives the cookie a faintly savoury weight that holds the sweetness down, and stretches the finish several seconds past where the plain version stops. |
| Pack weight | 216g | The piece count is not published at product level and we state none. |
Pack: Britannia Good Day Cashew Cookies, 216g; a single sealed pack of short cashew cookies. Contains nuts. Best before the date printed on the pack, and best resealed at once, since nut oil turns faster than plain butter.
The presence of cashew is taken from the product name itself.
Sourcing & blend. Britannia Good Day Cashew Cookies, 216g comes from Britannia, one of India's best known biscuit makers, and nut cookies occupy a far larger share of the Indian biscuit aisle than they do of the British one. The reason is the drink they are built around. Chai is strong, milky, sweet and usually spiced, and a plain sweet biscuit beside it can vanish entirely. A nut cookie has something chai cannot cancel: oil and a faintly savoury depth that sit underneath the spice rather than competing with it. Nut oil in a dough also makes an already short crumb slightly heavier, and the visible pieces interrupt the bite, so where the plain version collapses evenly this one is briefly uneven wherever a fragment turns up. The pack you receive is the current UK retail pack rather than an import made to a different recipe.
What is in Britannia Good Day Cashew Cookies, 216g, and what is not:
- In: short baked butter cookies with cashew worked through the dough, in a single sealed 216g pack.
- No coating and no filling: nothing is sandwiched or enrobed, so the nut and the butter are the whole of the flavour.
