2 sticks unsalted butter, softened slightly
1/2 c. sugar
2 egg whites
1/2 c. toasted macadamia nuts, ground
1 tsp. butterscotch schnapps or vanilla
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped

Cream together the butter and sugar and egg whites and combine well. Stir in the flour, add the vanilla or butterscotch schnapps, and finally the nuts. Drop by large rounded tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased and floured cookie sheets and flatten slightly, crisscross fashion with the tines of a fork dipped in water. Sprinkle each cookie with chopped nuts.

Bake in preheated 350°F oven 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown.
