Description

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, chilled
• 6 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts
• 3/4 cup finely shredded sweetened coconut flakes
• raw sugar for sprinkling

Directions

• With your hands, combine the butter and sugar in a large bowl until well mixed.
• In alternating batches, add the flour, coconut and macadamia nuts, incorporating each fully.
• Divide dough in two balls and wrap each in plastic wrap. Flatten each into a disc and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment or a silpat.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll dough to 1/4 to 1/3-in in thickness.
• Using cookie cutters (I used a 3-inch circle), cut shapes of dough and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Sprinkle each cookie with some raw sugar.
• Bake for 20 minutes.
