White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies. Soft chewy white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are a sweet, buttery cookie and are always a crowd pleaser!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter (softened slightly)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- 3 cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (if using unsalted butter, use 3/4 teaspoon salt)
- 1 1/2 cups White Chocolate Chips (suggest Guittard or Ghirardelli)
- 1 cup Macadamia Nuts (roughly chopped but still large enough)
- 1/2 cup Coconut (optional) (sweetened flaked or unsweetened coconut flakes)
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar for at least 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla.
-
Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until combined. Stir in white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. If using coconut, add it in now.
-
Drop onto parchment paper lined baking sheets. I suggest using light colored aluminum baking sheets for even baking. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges start to become a light golden color. Don't overbake! Let rest for 5 minutes on baking sheet before removing.
