These were hard as rocks and the lime flavor didn't come out at all. Very disappointed. I'm an experienced baker and these were terrible

I substituted toasted pine nuts for the macadamia nuts and was very happy with the results. These cookies have great flavor, with the zing from the lime, the tropical notes from the coconut and the butteriness of the batter and pine nuts. I'll definitely make these again!
