Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Macadamia nuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns a golden brown color and smells nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour the cooled burnt butter over the sugars and mix until fully incorporated.
Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts, ensuring they're evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking trays, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are soft but set.
Remove the trays from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the biscuits plain, or pair them with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
