• 1/2 cup chopped and toasted macadamia nuts

Recipe

• 1 to toast nuts: put them in an ungreased, shallow baking pan in a single layer. bake at 325 for 3 - 5 minutes, stirring once halfway through (or just give the pan a good shake). once you start smelling them or they are a golden brown, take them out of the oven. don't leave them in the cooking pan; put into another cool pan/plate to cool. chop them.
• 2 combine the flour, rolled oats, sugar, coconut and cooled macadamia nuts.
• 3 in a small saucepan, combine the water, honey and baking soda. bring to a boil, then stir in the butter. set aside to cool for 5 minutes, then stir into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon.
• 4 place tablespoons of dough onto the cookie sheets lined with parchment. flatten slightly with the back of the spoon. leave a little room between cookies. bake at 325 for 9 to 12 minutes (perhaps up to 15 min for crunchy). remove from the baking sheet to cool on wire racks.
