# Step-by-step Instructions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The macadamias add this buttery richness that makes you forget youre eating something keto-friendly
- These cookies crisp up beautifully around the edges while staying tender in the center
- One bowl, minimal cleanup, and you probably have everything in your pantry right now
02 -
- These cookies firm up considerably as they cool, so dont be alarmed if they seem slightly soft when you first pull them from the oven
- Macadamias can burn faster than other nuts, so keep an eye on them during those last few minutes of baking
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients are non-negotiable here—cold butter creates a dough that never quite comes together properly
- If your dough feels too sticky to handle, chill it for 15 minutes before scooping
