Steps to make Macadamia and Pecan Sandies (Valentine’s Cut-Out Cookies) 💕
- Gather the ingredients.
- OPTIONAL: Toast the pecans. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the pecans on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake them for up to ~7 minutes, checking on them frequently, and shaking the pan to ensure even roasting. Allow to cool.
- Place one cup of macadamia nuts into the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until they are finely chopped.
- Repeat step three for the pecans. If you don’t have a food processor, you can finely chop the nuts by hand.
- Cream the butter for about a minute or two to ensure that it’s nice and soft.
I use a stand mixer, but a handheld mixer will work just as well. - Add powdered sugar in two batches. Stir slowly at first to allow it to incorporate, then mix at medium speed for 3 minutes until fluffy. Scrape the bowl halfway through.
- Add vanilla and egg yolks, then mix again until well incorporated. Scrape the bowl again.
- Whisk together flour and salt, then add to the mixing bowl along with the nuts.
- Mix on low speed until just incorporated.
- Roll the dough out between two layers of plastic wrap. Place onto a cookie sheet and refrigerate for at least two hours, or overnight.
- Roll dough out to 0.25 inch (6mm) thick. Use cookie cutters to cut desired shapes, and transfer cookies to parchment paper-lined cookie sheets.
I used heart-shaped cookie cutters that were about 2 inches (~5 cm) wide.
- Chill cookies for at least 15 minutes before baking.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes. (Larger cookies needed ~11 min, but smaller cookies were ready by ~9 min. Keep an eye on them!)
Rotate the pans halfway through baking.
Let cookies cool on the cookie sheets for about 5 minutes, then remove.
- Make the dipping chocolate by microwaving the chocolate chips and shortening in short (15 second) bursts and stirring well.
- Dip or drizzle the cookies with the melted chocolate. Allow to dry completely before storing in a sealed container at room temperature for up to one week.
