This Honey Macadamia Shortbread Recipe embodies the same crispy, buttery goodness of the classic shortbread cookie, but is a much more refined dessert.
Cream together the sugar and butter until smooth, slowly start adding in the flour and salt. A ball will start to form, this is how you’ll know it is ready to press into your mini tart pans (ungreased).
Bake for 22-26 minutes or until puffy and slightly browned around the edges. You may cool in the pans or out of the pans, either way on wire racks.
When at room temp add a tablespoon or so of the honey to the center of each tart and then sprinkle with the macadamia nuts.
You’ll want to slightly press in the larger pieces to help the honey hold them in place. You can sprinkle with a bit of cocoa powder to kick the flavors up a notch, but this shortbread is simply delicious even without it!
Store at room temperature in an airtight container and enjoy within a week.
