To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
This recipe makes about 12-15 cookies, depending on the size of your cookie cutter.
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg yolk and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Next, add in the flour and chopped macadamia nuts, and mix until a dough forms. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out your desired shapes, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. While the cookies are baking, heat up the caramel sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Once the cookies are done, remove them from the oven and immediately brush them with the warm caramel sauce. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each cookie, and let them cool completely before serving.
