Yield Makes 17

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest plus 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, toasted and finely ground
1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Add egg yolk, lemon zest and juice, and salt and beat until combined; beat in nuts. With mixer on low, add flour and beat just until combined, 2 minutes. Form dough into a 4 1/2-inch-long log, wrap in plastic, and freeze until firm, 30 minutes. Cut into 1/4-inch slices, transfer to 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, and freeze 5 minutes. Bake until golden at edges, 14 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cookies cool completely on wire racks.
  • Microwave chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until melted. Dip half of each cookie into chocolate; transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Chill until set, 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your cookies. Use a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate that contains at least 70% cacao.
  • Toast the macadamia nuts: Toasting the macadamia nuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. To toast the nuts, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when they are done baking. If you bake them too long, they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These chocolate-dipped macadamia cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cookies are soft and chewy, with a rich chocolate flavor and a crunchy macadamia nut center. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
