Macnut Tea Cookies
photo by marisk
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
36 cookies
ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar (more if you like it extra sweet)
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1⁄4 cups flour (You may need a little more or less. Needs to be moist enough to stick together.)
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
- 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- powdered sugar (to sprinkle on cookies when done)
directions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine butter, powdered sugar and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, nuts and salt. Add to butter mixture.
- Add milk.
- Form into 1 inch balls -- don't pack too tightly unless you like them firm.
- Place on ungreased cookie sheet 1 inch apart.
- Bake for about 20 minutes (golden but not brown).
- Roll in powdered sugar. If done while warm they will be a little sticky as the sugar will melt a little.
- If you want it really sweet -- Roll in powdered sugar one more time to finish -- this makes the cookie very sweet. Or increase the amount in the cookie.
- CHOCOLATE LOVERS - Melt some chocolate and drizzle it across the tops of the cookies after they have been powdered and slightly cooled; this gives it not only a new look but a new flavor. OR hide a milk chocolate chip or two in the center before baking for a little surprise and top it off with one on top of each cookie (finish off with another sprinkling of confectioner's sugar).

<p>Aloha! I just recently started spending more time in the kitchen and am learning that cooking and baking can be fun as well as challenging. My favorite cookbook resources are my 'gourmet' sister and the very patient and generous Ohana of Zaar. Mahalo nui loa! <br /><br />My rating system: The first time I try a recipe, I follow the instructions as given; if I do a little tweaking, I keep that in mind when rating. It's not right to rate lower because of something I did or didn't do. <br />***** ... Excellent! Tasted great with/without tweaking. <br />**** ... Loved It! Tasted great with/without tweaking. <br />No stars ... May be an excellent recipe but I was unable to get it to work for me. May or may not try again later. We don't all have the same taste preferences. I've found recipes with lots of five stars that just didn't work for me and some with less that I thought were great. <br />Thank you All for sharing!</p>
