How to Make Cocoa Macadamia Nut Sandies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and desired flavoring (almond or coconut extract).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the macadamia nuts (or your chosen nut).
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Gently flatten each ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
