How to make white chocolate macadamia nut cookies

I like to share treats with my co-workers. When I asked them for ideas one response I received was white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. In my world this is not a typical cookie I would make for myself, but since it was a request by a fellow co-worker I, decided to try making some.

They were a hit, and from what I’ve heard you either like macadamia nuts or you don’t. (I happened to like them) If you fall into the category who does like macadamia nuts, I highly recommend the recipe on the back of the Ghirardelli Baking Chips, Classic White, 11-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6). (affiliate link)

No surprise that is the recipe I’ve adapted for this article.

Here is how I make white chocolate macadamia nut cookies.

First, gather the ingredients.

Add the following to a mixing bowl and mix until fluffy.

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar

Decide what size cookies you want. I’m just including this picture to show off my new cookie scoops. I received these as a Christmas present so I though I’d show them off. By the way I decided to use the larger scoop for this article.

Your batter should look something like this.

Use your fancy cookie scoop or a spoon full of batter to your desired size cookie onto an ungreased non-stick cookie sheet.
