My first taste of a macadamia nut was in America mixed with caramel and I was hooked! I love the creamy taste of macadamia nuts.
I wanted a nice cookie that was soft in the middle and crispy round the edges but I also wanted them to taste of macadamias so did not add any additional flavours.
They are not an overly sweet cookie but they have a great taste!

To start preheat the oven and line two baking trays with parchment. Then add the macadamia butter, unsalted butter, light brown sugar and Demerara sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer or use a hand mixer in a large bowl. Cream the butters and sugars until light and fluffy.
Then add the egg and mix again. Finally add the flour and the roughly chopped macadamia nuts until everything is incorporated. I used a scoop but they need to be approximately 30g in weight.
Bake for 12 minutes and take out of the oven then to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Makes approx 35 biscuits.
Only bake for 12 minutes - they will be soft when they come out of the oven but will harden as they cool. Don’t be tempted to cook for any longer.
