Yield Makes 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 pound macadamia pieces, or whole nuts, roughly chopped
1 chilled log of butter shortbread cookie dough

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a baking sheet, preferably rimmed.
  • 2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Heat over medium heat until mixture begins to simmer, about 3 minutes. Cover the pan and continue to simmer, allowing steam from cooking mixture to wash down the sides of the pan. Remove cover and continue to simmer until the mixture turns golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Immediately remove from the stove, and, to avoid mixture bubbling over, carefully pour cream in a slow, steady stream into the pan; do not stir. Return the pot to the stove, reduce heat to low, and, using a wooden spoon, gently stir mixture until cream is completely incorporated.
  • 3. Transfer the caramel to a medium heat-proof bowl, add the nuts, and stir to coat the nuts evenly. Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet, spreading it evenly, and bake until dark brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool the brittle to room temperature and chop mixture coarsely using a food processor, a cleaver or by hand.
  • 4. Cut the log into twenty 1/2-inch rounds, press one cut side of each round into the brittle, and arrange the rounds 2 inches apart on all sides on a parchment-lined or nonstick cookie sheet or sheets.
  • 5. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the cookies with a spatula and cool on a wire rack.

CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT BROWNIES

Macadamia Nuts were well-known to the indigenous inhabitants of Australia, and were first discovered by early white settlers in 1828. This now immensely popular Bush Nut is found in many Australian recipes. These Chocolate Macadamia Nut Brownies can be eaten straight away or made up to a week before required. Keep covered in the refrigerator or perhaps, if you want them to still be where you've put them in a week's time, hidden. Adapted from a recipe on the "Australian Women's Weekly" website.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 35m

Yield 16 Brownies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ounces macadamia nuts (115g)
10 ounces flour (280g)
6 ounces brown sugar (175g)
4 ounces butter (115g)
4 ounces butter (115g)
3 1/2 ounces brown sugar (100g)
7 ounces milk chocolate chips (200g)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
  • Coarsely chop the macadamia nuts. To make the base, beat together the flour, sugar, and butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 30x20 cm/12x8" rectangular baking tin. Sprinkle the macadamia nuts over top.
  • To make the topping, put the butter and sugar in a saucepan, and stirring constantly, slowly bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly, then carefully pour the mixture over the macadamia nuts.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, until the caramel topping is bubbling. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over top. Leave for 2-3 minutes, until the chocolate begins to melt, then using a fork or knife, swirl the chocolate over the top. Leave to cool in the tin, then cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for semisweet or dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. Use pure vanilla extract, not imitation, and fresh, unsalted butter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough brownie. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will result in dry brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

Caramel macadamia nut brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their rich chocolate flavor, gooey caramel center, and crunchy macadamia nuts, these brownies are sure to be a hit!
