How to Make Pineapple And Macadamia Shortbread

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
  3. Cut in the 1 cup (2 sticks) of chilled, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of roughly chopped macadamia nuts and 1 cup of drained, crushed pineapple.
  5. Gently gather the dough into a ball. Do not overmix.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
  7. Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Reroll scraps once or twice.
  8. Place cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
