Tips:

- Ensure your shortbread mixture is chilled to prevent the butter from melting. This will give your bars a more solid foundation. - Use a high-quality macadamia nut to add a rich flavor and texture to your bars. - If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use two pieces of parchment paper and a heavy object, like a can of beans, to flatten the shortbread dough. - Use a sharp knife to cut the bars for a clean finish. - Bake the bars until they are golden brown around the edges. The center should still be slightly soft. This will give you a chewy and flavorful bar. - Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bars for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Chocolate chip macadamia nut bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. These bars feature a shortbread crust filled with a gooey chocolate chip and macadamia nut filling. They are perfect for any occasion and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, these chocolate chip macadamia nut bars are sure to hit the spot.
