1 1/2 cups very finely chopped or ground macadamia nuts
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 F.
Lightly grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
Sift flour, sugar, and salt together; work in butter and vanilla. Add 3/4 cup of finely chopped nuts; mix well.
Shape dough into 1/2-inch balls.
Roll the cookies in the remaining nuts and place on the prepared baking sheets. Alternatively, roll half of the cookies in nuts and leave half plain; roll plain cookies in powdered sugar when they have cooled.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned on the bottoms.
