Macadamia Nut Crisps

Directions

1. 1
   Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Coarsely grind the nuts (I usually do this by placing in a zip bag and pounding them with a meat tenderizer). Add to the sugar mixture and mix.
2. 2
   Stir in flour and blend. Spoon heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork and sprinkle each with some coconut.
3. 3
   Bake at 350 F for fifteen minutes, or until lightly brown around the edges. Let rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a rack to cool.
