Macadamia Nut Crisps - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 lb butter
1/3 cup fine sugar
2 ounces macadamia nuts
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup desiccated coconut

Preparation

Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Coarsely grind the nuts (I usually do this by placing in a zip bag and pounding them with a meat tenderizer). Add to the sugar mixture and mix.
Stir in flour and blend. Spoon heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork and sprinkle each with some coconut.
Bake at 350 F for fifteen minutes, or until lightly brown around the edges. Let rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a rack to cool.
