Macadamia Nut Crisps Recipes

MACADAMIA NUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 large cookie sheets with vegetable shortening.
• Cream the butter and sugars together in a large bowl. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well blended. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually blend into the batter. Stir in the chopped macadamia nuts and chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown. Remove from the oven, and transfer the cookies to cooling racks.

APPLE CRISP WITH MACADAMIA NUTS

Steps:

• Combine the first 6 ingredients in a bowl; stir well. Cut in margarine with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.
• Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Place apple slices in the dish; drop apricot preserves by teaspoonfuls onto apple slices. Sprinkle evenly with the flour/nut mixture. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
• Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

MANGO MACADAMIA NUT CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the diced mango and the grated ginger in a saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Cook mango slowly, stirring until it releases its juice and begins to simmer, about 5 to 7 minutes. Simmer about 3 minutes more until mango is tender and juices are bubbly. Remove mango pieces with a slotted spoon to a small bowl. Leave mango juice in pan and bring to a boil. Stirring constantly, boil the mango juice until it is reduced by 3/4 and is syrupy. Scrape syrup into bowl with mango and add brown sugar and honey. Stir gently to combine. Transfer mango to a lightly buttered 2-quart shallow bake pan (a round 9-inch cake pan works as well). Sprinkle the Oatmeal Macadamia Nut Streusel over the mango filling, covering evenly. Place baking dish on a cookie sheet (to catch any bubbling filling) and place in the oven. Bake 25-30 minutes until streusel is golden and the filling is bubbly. Cool to room temperature before serving.
• Combine flour, oatmeal and both sugars in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to mix well. Add the butter to the bowl, replace the top and pulse the machine to incorporate the butter. Work quickly and use short pulses to make a dry, loose, fluffy mixture resembling sand. Do not allow the butter to soften or make a dough. Transfer the streusel to a small bowl and add the nuts and coconut. Toss by hand to mix well. Reserve until needed.
