Storage Tips – To prepare the cookie dough in advance, roll the batter into a ball, cover tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Store the cookie dough in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 4 days before baking. 

Macadamia Nuts – Salted, dry-roasted, unsalted or raw macadamia nuts can be used. 

Glaze – Use leftover glaze to make another batch of cookies or brush it on muffins or cakes. Store in the fridge and gently warm in the microwave if oil solidifies.
