Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 Cups Macadamia Nuts, roughly chopped
  2. 1 Cup Granulated White Sugar
  3. 1/4 Cup Water
  4. 1/4 Cup Corn Syrup (Glucose Syrup)
  5. 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  6. 1/4 Tablespoon Baking Soda
  7. Pinch of Sea Salt
  8. Butter for the baking sheet

Tip: Lightly toast the macadamias before adding them to the dough for extra crunch and flavour.

How To Make Macadamia Nut Cookies

  1. Prepare a large baking sheet by greasing it with butter. Set aside.
  2. In a large nonstick saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved and until golden brown.
  3. Add the nuts to the mixture and stir until medium brown. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and baking soda.
  4. Pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a greased spatula or the back of a spoon, spread it out into an even layer, about ¼-inch thick.
  5. Allow the brittle to cool completely at room temperature until hardened and firm.
  6. Once cooled, break the brittle into small, bite-sized pieces using your hands or by gently tapping it with a kitchen mallet.
  7. Store the macadamia nut brittle in an airtight container at room temperature. It can last for several weeks if stored properly.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy these cookies with coffee, pack them into lunchboxes, or gift them in jars as a homemade treat. They also freeze well in an airtight container.
