Preparation

Step 1

Add 1/2 teaspoon macadamia nut oil to a frying pan and toast pine nuts on medium to high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Set aside and let cool.

Preheat oven to 345 F.

Mix remaining oil, sugar, extracts and eggs in a bowl until light and fluffy.

In another bowl, combine sifted flour and baking powder with toasted pine nuts. Stir with a wooden spoon into the oil/egg mixture.

Form the dough into 1- to 1 1/2-inch cookie balls and place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet.

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on the baking sheet.
