Macadamia Nut Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup unsalted macadamia nuts
1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons cognac

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread macadamia nuts on a baking sheet.
Bake nuts in the preheated oven until lightly toasted, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
Place nuts in a blender or food processor; process until finely ground. Add butter and cognac. Process until just combined. Do not overmix, or the butter will heat up and separate.
Form macadamia nut butter into a log or pack into a crock. Store covered in the refrigerator until serving.
