How To Make melting moment macadamia butter cookies

• 1

  Mix together very well using hands until the ingredients form a dough. You should be able to have a ‘clean’ mixing bowl with no crumbs. Cover with parchment & place in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up. When firm, divide the dough into 24 equal pieces. (I find it easiest to roll it into a sausage shape whilst it is still in the parchment). Roll into balls and place cookies on the UN GREASED baking tray about a hand width apart. Using two fingers or the back of a teaspoon, squash each ball slightly down.

  Bake in preheated oven at 350F, 180C, Gas 4 for 10 minutes or until the edges just begin to slightly brown. Remove from the oven, cool for 5 minutes on the baking tray then transfer using a spatula to a cooling rack. Be careful as they are delicate.
