One of the most easiest cookies ever!
This is with cinnamon and sugar toppings.
Sugar and Almond toppings
Macadamia Shortbreads - Makes about 16(2-inch (5-cm) square cookies)
COOKIE DOUGH:
50g sugar
25g unsalted macadamia nuts, crushed with the bottom of a pan
140g all-purpose flour
¼ tsp baking powder
90 g cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
A dash of salt
TOPPING:
40g unsalted macadamia nuts
30g sugar
A dash of salt
One 8-inch (20-cm) pan lined with buttered foil
Method:
1. Set a rack in the middle level of the oven and preheat to 160°C.
2. For the dough, combine the sugar and macadamia nuts in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse to grind finely. Add the flour and baking powder and pulse several times to mix.
3. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is finely mixed in. The mixture should be powdery (but mine seen a bit like breadcrumb).
4. Remove the blade of the food processor and pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Distribute it evenly all over the bottom of the pan and use the palm of one hand to press it in.
5. Use a brush to sprinkle the top of the dough generously with water.
6. For the topping, combine the sugar and macadamia nuts in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse 2-3 times, to mix and the nut crushed and finely chopped, but not ground. Scatter the chopped nuts and sugar evenly on the dough and use the palm of your hand to press them in.
7. Bake the cookies until they are golden and firm, about 25 minutes.
8. As soon as you remove the pan from the oven, grip the opposite ends of the foil and lift the slab of baked dough onto a cutting board. While the dough is still hot, use a long sharp knife to cut the slab into 2-inch (5-cm) squares. Let the cookies cool and they’ll become crisp.
