Ingredients

• 80g almond flour
• 1 organic egg
• 2 tbsp butter
• 50g macadamia nuts

Method

You’ll need: baking tray · chopping board · knife · mixing bowl

1. Melt the butter slightly so it's soft but not runny.
2. Mix the almond flour with the egg and butter in a bowl into a thick, sticky dough.
3. Roughly chop the macadamia nuts.
4. Knead the nut pieces into the dough.
5. Shape small balls, place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and press them down lightly.
6. Bake the cookies at 160 °C (140 °C fan) for about 12 minutes, until the edges are golden.

Good to know

Macadamias are the queens of keto. Their high fat content makes these cookies wonderfully short and full of flavour.

Swaps

Macadamia nuts → Brazil nuts (if you want a similarly rich nut with a slightly earthier flavour).

Cooking tips

Cookies made with almond flour are very soft fresh from the oven. Always let them cool on the tray before you touch them.

Storage

Store the cookies in a tin in a cool, dry place so they keep their crumbly texture.
