Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113.5 g) Butter unsalted room temperature
  • 4 oz (4 oz) Cream Cheese room temperature
  • 1 ½ cup (180 g) Powdered sugar
  • 1 (1) Egg room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon (2 teaspoon) Lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) Lime zest
  • 1 ¾ cup (218.75 g) All-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) Baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) Kosher Salt
  • ⅔ cup (89.33 g) Macadamia nuts chopped
  • ⅔ cup (157.73 g) Dried mango diced

Instructions

  • Zest and juice one lime into two bowls. Weigh or measure the powdered sugar and set it aside. Weigh or measure the flour, baking powder, and Kosher salt into another dish running a whisk through to blend. The last prep is to chop the macadamia nuts so they are closer in size to the diced dried mango in size.
  • Add the butter and the cream cheese to a stand or hand-held mixer bowl and cream for 1 to 2 minutes on medium speed. Scrape down the bowl, turn the mixer on low, and slowly add the powdered sugar. Then turn the mixer to medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes until light and creamy. Turn the mixer down to a low speed and add the egg.
  • After the egg is incorporated, add the lime juice and zest. Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the rest of the bowl and blend. Finally, mix in the chopped macadamia nuts and diced dried mangos for about 15 seconds. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C or 180°C), take parchment paper, line 2 pans, and set aside. Using a medium cookie scoop, add 12 scoops to a pan. Bake for 11-13 minutes, pulling them from the oven when light brown shows around the bottom edges. Move to a cooling rack.
