Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams macadamia nuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 5 cm (2 inches) apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Macadamia Nut Crisps with a cup of tea or coffee.
