Tips:

- Ensure your butter is at room temperature before starting; it will be easier to cream with the sugar.

- Toast the macadamia nuts lightly before using them. This will enhance their flavor and add a bit of extra crunch to your pies.

- For a more intense flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of regular brown sugar.

- Use a food processor to grind your macadamia nuts if you prefer a smoother filling.

- Chill your dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to handle and will help prevent it from shrinking during baking.

- Don't overmix the dough once you add the flour; this will ensure a tender crust.

- If you don't have lemon zest, orange zest can be a great substitute, giving a slightly different but equally delicious flavor.

- Line your baking tin with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the pies once they are baked.

- Allow the pies to cool completely before slicing to make sure they hold their shape.
