White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies

Asking me to pick my favourite cookie, is like asking me to pick between chocolate or peanut butter… it’s near impossible.

So being the indecisive human that I am, I may not be able to say that White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies are my absolute favourite, but they are at least top 3 for me. Especially these ones…

Thick and chewy on the inside – lightly crisp on the outside with the tender crunch of macadamia nuts… these cookies are texture and flavour perfection.

I have nothing more to say. I hope you enjoy the recipe

Happy baking xoxo

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. Mmmm I just love these babies, don’t you?

I’m absolutely in love with this recipe, because the cookies are super chewy on the inside, with a nice crisp exterior, and their flavour is not too sweet – which I find can sometimes be a bit of a problem when it comes to White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies.

Not to mention their crackly tops with those chunks of white chocolate and macadamia nuts popping out just make them irresistible to look at! I pretty much start drooling every time I look at them.

So here is the recipe lovelies, and as always I hope you enjoy <3 <3

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

Makes: 24 large cookies

Things you need…

1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups pastry flour
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
1 1/4 cup white chocolate chunks

1 tbsp coarse sugar for sprinkling {optional}

How to make…

Preheat your oven to 350F degrees and line a couple cookie pans with parchment paper {depending on how much of the cookie dough you want to bake off right away}.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl add the eggs and vanilla beat until fluffy.

In a small bowl, whisk together flours, baking soda, baking powder, corn starch, cinnamon and salt. Add in two additions to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until completely combined. The batter may seem a bit soft, but don’t worry – this is what you want. Add in the white chocolate chunks & macadamia nuts; mix on low until evenly distributed.

Using a cookie scoop or two teaspoons, scoop your batter out into about 1 tbsp portions out onto your baking sheets leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. I usually put no more than 12 onto each tray. Sprinkle the tops with some coarse sugar, and set in the centre rack of your oven to bake.

Bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes or until the tops are beginning to crackle and the edges are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least five minutes before digging in… that is if you can…. 😀

Happy cookie baking!
