Cookies by George

The Best Thing About Hawaii?

Is it the ubiquitous pineapple? Is it the highly excitable volcano? No, our vote goes for that tough-nut-to-crack: the macadamia. George’s island cookie has all the best things going for it: the finest Belgian white chocolate, and yummy macadamia nuts. Now, we don’t want to get too health-nutty on you, but with the Omega-7 oil in the macadamia nut, you pretty much have to follow doctor’s orders: take two and call us in the morning!

Warning: Macadamia Nut Chocolate Chunk is not offered by all locations

* Too much information, but in case you are interested
The Macadamia nut's kernel is extremely hard to mine out of its shell (it requires about 300 psi or 2000 kPa to crack). The shell is most easily cracked with a metalworking bench vice. A safer and quicker alternative is to use a Ratchet style PVC pipe cutter. The nuts can also be smashed open with a hammer or heavy solid kitchen tool. Nuts of the "Arkin Papershell" variety, cultivated by retired stockbroker Morris Arkin, each have a blemish or small crack somewhere on the shell, and the shell will crack open readily if left for a few days, or if struck properly with a hammer - from Wikipedia, which we love.
