Vegan Chocolate Macadamia Cookies

A recent guest stopped at the Valhalla macadamia farm near Antigua on her way here. She brought several treats with her, including some beautiful macadamia nuts. She is also a fan of the traditionally-made cacao we have available at Lake Atitlan, so those seemed a perfect combination for a nice sweet treat.

I found a recipe I thought I could work with, then experimented to create my own version. My poor guests had to test and retest. I don’t think they minded.

I won’t try to tell you that these cookies represent the pinnacle of healthy food, but they’re pretty healthful as cookies go.

These are quick to make. If you don’t have a block of our wonderful unsweetened cacao, you could use some other kind of unsweetened chocolate.
