Macadamia and Pecan Sandies (Valentine’s Cut-Out Cookies) 💕
Macadamia and Pecan Sandies (Valentine’s Cut-Out Cookies) 💕
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Gather the ingredients.
- 2
OPTIONAL: Toast the pecans. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the pecans on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake them for up to ~7 minutes, checking on them frequently, and shaking the pan to ensure even roasting. Allow to cool.
- 3
Place one cup of macadamia nuts into the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until they are finely chopped.
- 4
Repeat step three for the pecans. If you don’t have a food processor, you can finely chop the nuts by hand.
- 5
Cream the butter for about a minute or two to ensure that it’s nice and soft.
I use a stand mixer, but a handheld mixer will work just as well. - 6
Add powdered sugar in two batches. Stir slowly at first to allow it to incorporate, then mix at medium speed for 3 minutes until fluffy. Scrape the bowl halfway through.
- 7
Add vanilla and egg yolks, then mix again until well incorporated. Scrape the bowl again.
- 8
Whisk together flour and salt, then add to the mixing bowl along with the nuts.
- 9
Mix on low speed until just incorporated.
- 10
Roll the dough out between two layers of plastic wrap. Place onto a cookie sheet and refrigerate for at least two hours, or overnight.
- 11
Roll dough out to 0.25 inch (6mm) thick. Use cookie cutters to cut desired shapes, and transfer cookies to parchment paper-lined cookie sheets.
I used heart-shaped cookie cutters that were about 2 inches (~5 cm) wide.
- 12
Chill cookies for at least 15 minutes before baking.
- 13
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes. (Larger cookies needed ~11 min, but smaller cookies were ready by ~9 min. Keep an eye on them!)
Rotate the pans halfway through baking.
Let cookies cool on the cookie sheets for about 5 minutes, then remove.
- 14
Make the dipping chocolate by microwaving the chocolate chips and shortening in short (15 second) bursts and stirring well.
- 15
Dip or drizzle the cookies with the melted chocolate. Allow to dry completely before storing in a sealed container at room temperature for up to one week.

These are buttery, crumbly, nutty cookies that make a great teatime treat or are the perfect addition to your Christmas cookie platter!You can make these as a slice-and-bake cookie or a drop cookie. There are other variations you can try, like coating the cookies in powdered sugar, topping each cookie with a whole pecan, or adding chocolate in the form of a drizzle or miniature chocolate chips mixed into the batter. But even without any of these extra additions, these cookies are delicious! 😋This recipe was modified from Taste of Home#Sweet #Dessert #Baking #Christmas #Holiday #Nuts

Chocolate Shortbread Cookies For Valentine's Day Chocolate Shortbread Cookies For Valentine's Day
Shortbread cookies are easy to make. Even kids can make these, so feel free to make the plain version for Valentine's Day with your kids and give as gifts!I cooled on top of a rack, but it is fragile just after baking, so be careful. This is a snack enjoyed by biting into, so I recommend using butter, which has a better flavor than margarine. Please feel free to add granulated sugar to the almond flour. Recipe by Shioaji

Cute and Delicious Piped Cookies Cute and Delicious Piped Cookies
I wanted to create a recipe for heavenly smelling and crispy piped cookies made with butter and heavy cream. These are so cute, and you can vary them with different kinds of toppings, like jam, chocolate chips, and citrus peel! It would be nice to give an assortment of these cookies as a gift.Make sure the egg yolk and butter are at room temperature. Don't forget to sift the cake flour 2-3 times. If you use a plastic bag for a piping bag, it might rip, so I recommend using a heavy-duty piping bag (mine ripped since it was from a 100 yen shop). Make lots of different flavors and shapes and enjoy! Recipe by Toiroiro
