White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
Somehow, the longer I go between making posts, the harder it gets to break the silence and post something new. I don’t have a good excuse. I made these cookies for the first time just before Christmas. I made them for the second time last week, so I think it’s way past time to share them with you.
Before Christmas I had bought a bag of chopped macadamia nuts and a bag of white chips, so I did a quick Google search for White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies, found a recipe labeled “The Best White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie Recipe” and said OK! Good enough for me!
And they were. Quite delicious little cookies, they were a big hit with my family at Christmas and an even bigger hit with my coworkers last week. This recipe came out to nearly three dozen cookies using my cookie scoop so there are plenty to share!
Let’s get started.
You’ll need: Butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, eggs, flour, baking soda, white chocolate chips, and macadamia nuts
In a large bowl, add 1 cup of softened butter
1 cup of sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla
and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Using an electric mixer, beat until creamy.
{{At this point there should be pictures of adding eggs, but I forgot to TAKE those pictures, sorry!}}
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a smaller bowl, add 2 1/2 cups flour
and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
Give it a quick stir to combine and then…
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture…
… until well blended.
Add the white chocolate chips. The recipe calls for 10oz, but I saw no reason not to add the entire 12 oz bag.
And 1 cup of macadamia nuts. (And did you know there is no ‘e’ anywhere in the word macadamia? Cause I keep trying to put one in there, and my spell check keeps yelling at me!)
Stir those in until they are well distributed.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until set.
Let cool for a couple minutes, and then remove the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Then enjoy! And for the sake of your hips, please share with others. They’ll love you for it. (Your hips and your friends!)
