Ingredients
1cupdairy free butter
1 ½cupsshredded coconut
½cupmacadamia nuts, chopped
⅓cupcoconut sugar
1teaspoonorganic vanilla extract
1 ¾cupswhole wheat pastry flour
¼cupalmond flour
1cupchocolate of your choice to melt for the topping, I used semi sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl add the butter and sugar.
With a hand or stand mixer beat until it is light and fluffy. That takes about 5-10 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and blend. Mix in the flour.
Stir in the coconut and macadamia nuts and mix in by hand.
Form into a 2" diameter roll. Roll up in waxed paper and refrigerate until firm. About 1 hour.
Take out of the fridge and slice in about ¼" to ½" thick slices as seen in the photo below.
Place on a Baking Sheet and bake at 300• for 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Melt you chocolate in the microwave just until it is melted not bubbling. It burns so be careful.
If you don't have any piping bags - scoop the chocolate into a baggie and squish down into one corner. Snip the tiniest snip at the point and pipe circles on the top of each cookie.
