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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped macadamia nuts, ensuring they're evenly dispersed throughout the dough.

Step 8

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking trays, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart to allow for spreading.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are soft but set.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Serve the biscuits plain, or pair them with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
