    Cookies:

    • Preheat the oven at 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Using a food processor chop the macadamia nuts until coarse ground.
    • Mix the chopped nuts with the almond flour, coconut oil, honey and salt, and refrigerate batter for 30 minutes.
    • Shape each cookie into a 1-inch ball and press your thumb into the center creating an indentation, then fill with 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate.
    • Bake cookies until the bottom and edges start to turn brown, approximately 8-10 minutes.
    • Let cookies cool on baking sheet over a wire rack.
