directions

  • Position a rack in the middle of an oven and preheat to 325-degrees (165C).
  • On a baking sheet, mix together the coconut and macadamia nuts.
  • Bake, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool- leave oven set at 325-degrees (165C).
  • In a bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat the butter until fluffy, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the sugar and beat, stopping once or twice to scrape the sugar to the center of the bowl with a rubber spatula, until light, about 1 minute.
  • Beat in the egg yolk, vanilla and salt.
  • On low speed, beat in the flour and then the coconut mixture and the mango to form a soft dough.
  • Divide the dough in half and press each half into a round cake pan 9 inches (23 cm) in diameter.
  • Using fork tines, mark each round into 8 wedges.
  • Bake until the shortbread is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the pans to a rack and, using the marks as guides, cut into wedges.
  • Let cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temp up to 3 days.
