Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Butter
- 3/4 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Macadamia nuts
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Steps
- Cream the butter and sugar just until combined — overbeating makes shortbread spread.
- Fold in the flour, salt, and finely chopped macadamias into a crumbly dough.
- Press into a pan, dock with a fork, and bake at 325°F for 35 minutes until pale gold.
- Cut while warm, cool completely; the macadamias toast in the oven into buttery crunch.
- These keep 2 weeks in a tin — if they last that long, which they will not.
