Ingredients

1 1/4 C. flour
1/4 C. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
2 tsp. grated lemon peel
1/2 C. butter
1/2 C. macadamia nuts, chopped

Cooking Instructions

Stir together the flour, sugar, salt and lemon peel. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives, until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Stir in macadamia nuts. Form mixture into a firm ball with your hands. Place in a 9 inch round glass dish and press into an even layer. Cut dough into wedges. Place in microwave oven and cook 4 minutes, rotating the dish a quarter turn after each minute. Remove from microwave oven and cut warm shortbread into wedges again, retracing first marks. Allow to cool.
