Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• ¾ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
• 8 oz. dark chocolate
• ¼ cup macadamia nuts, finely chopped

Directions

• Beat the butter until smooth and add in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Gradually add flour then mix in the 1 cup of chopped macadamia nuts.
• Transfer the batter to a sheet of parchment paper. Lay a second sheet over top and roll to ¼ inch thickness. Try to shape into a rectangle as much as possible. Place it onto a cookie sheet and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 300°F and remove dough from refrigerator.
• Slice the cookie batter into 1x2 inch rectangles. Transfer to a cookie sheet lined with parchment and back for 20 minutes. The edges should be slightly browned but the middle may still be soft.
• Cool the cookies completely.
• If you are making a crust, set aside at least ⅔ of the finished cookies. Set aside some of the prettier cookies for dipping.
• Melt your chocolate and dip the cookies or spoon the chocolate over the cookie. Gently remove any excess chocolate, lay it out on a sheet of parchment and sprinkle some finely chopped mac nuts on.
• Place into the fridge to set the chocolate and then serve.
