Preheat the oven to 360F / 180C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pour the macadamia nut butter and maple syrup into a bowl, then sift in the flour. Stir well with a wooden spoon so the flour is fully incorporated into the mixture. It should be quite thick and sticky in texture.
Use a medium cookie scoop or a tablespoon to scoop up about 2 tablespoon of cookie dough and place on the lined baking sheet. Leave a few inches between them as the cookies will expand as they bake. Use your fingers to press down into rough circles, then use a fork to press in the cross pattern.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, so they are slightly browned at the edges. The baking time is quite precise, so keep an eye on them after 10 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool down for 5-10 minutes (don't touch them now, they will be too soft), then carefully transfer to a wire rack to fully cool down.

Give your macadamia nut butter a stir before use to combine any oil that has risen to the top of the jar.
Don't forget to sift the flour! This makes it light and airy.
Using a cookie scoop is helpful for getting cookies of a similar size.
