Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla extract until a dough forms. If desired, stir in the chopped nuts.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about the size of a walnut. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and press them down slightly to flatten.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Nimkies are ready to serve.

Tips And Substitutions
Helpful tips
- Read the full method once before cooking so the timing and texture make sense.
- Taste and adjust salt, acidity, coconut richness, or heat near the end instead of at the start.
- Serve the dish while the main texture is still at its best, especially for seafood, greens, and coconut sauces.
Substitutions and variations
- Use the closest fresh local ingredient when the exact island ingredient is difficult to find.
- Coconut milk can usually be made richer with coconut cream or lighter with a little water.
- Keep chilli optional when cooking for a mixed table, then serve extra heat on the side.
