INGREDIENTS

• 2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

• 1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
• 4 large eggs (room temp)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp prepared strong Kona Coffee (You can actually taste the coffee in this and it adds a little something special)
• 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts (If you don't have any mac nuts you could also use some chocolate chips!)
