Time 50m

Yield 15 fingers

Number Of Ingredients 9

125 g unsalted butter, softened
55 g caster sugar (fine granulated)
150 g self-raising flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
90 g unsalted butter, chopped
2 tablespoons golden syrup
120 g icing sugar (powdered sugar)
150 g macadamias, toasted and coarsely chopped
50 g finely chopped crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 9"x9" brownie pan with baking parchment, extending the paper just above the edges of the pan.
  • Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the flour and ground ginger; beat on low speed until just combined.
  • Spread evenly into prepared pan and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool in pan.
  • For topping - combine butter, golden syrup and icing sugar in a small saucepan and stir over a medium heat until mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Stir in nuts and finely chopped crystallised ginger.
  • Spread hot macadamia topping evenly over cooled base. Return to oven and bake for about 10 minutes - the nuts should be just turning brown, keep an eye on them.
  • Cool in pan and then cut into fingers or squares.
  • TIP: recipe says to make sure the base is cooled to room temperature before spreading the hot nut/ginger topping over.

I'm not a huge fan of macadamia nuts, but these cookies were still really good. The ginger flavor is really nice.

I love the flavor of these cookies, but they're a little too dry for me. I think I'll add some extra butter next time.

These cookies are really good, but they're a lot of work to make. I'm not sure if I'll make them again.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out too much in the oven.
