Macadamia Bean White Chocolate Cookies
The white chocolate macadamia nut cookie is my all time favorite cookie. The cookies get even better when you add the floating salt! Emma’s Chocolate chip cookie recipe totally legendary, so today I’m excited to add my own favorite recipe cookie collect.
I recently started a new tradition of ordering afternoon snacks when my kids get home from school. Every day they run through the door and straight to the table to see what snack awaits them.
On the day I made these cookies, our 4-year-old was over the moon and so excited she drank three full glasses of oat milk with her cookies. If that’s not childhood magic, I don’t know what is!
The cookies for this recipe are soft, chewy, and buttery. Salt and macadamia nuts contrast with white chocolate for the perfect salty/sweet combination.
I love crackers, but for this recipe, I’m sure I wanted them to be softer and fluffier — cookies that would still be perfect days later on our bakery counter.
I like to keep the baked goods in our house all week long. Over-baked cookies can dry out very quickly, so I prefer recipes that bake a bit more carefully to maintain that delicious gooey consistency.
Advice
- Refrigerate your dough. This keeps the cakes from over-blooming, so they look nicer and fluffy.
- Use one cookie spoon If you are having trouble getting your cookies to be the right size; This tool will make it easier.
- Bake until lightly golden edges appear. Take the cake out of the oven at this time so that the cake is still soft on the inside.
- Enjoy straight from the oven with a large glass of milk!
It’s correct. You can Freeze these cookies like dough balls for several months and bake them afterwards. To bake frozen cookies, you don’t need to let them defrost. Instead, just add a few minutes to the baking time.
Since this recipe has no added salt (except for the flaking salt above), you can substitute with salted butter. I don’t think it will cross the line into too much salt territory. Unsalted is preferred, if possible.
Sure you can! I haven’t tested these options, so if you do, please leave us a comment and let us know what you think.
We have hundreds of Simple to make recipes (our test desserts, too). Whatever your favorite cookie, we might already have a recipe for it! If not, we’d love to hear from you.
Here are some of my personal favorites: vintage fingerprint cookies, No Bake Cookies (my husband absolutely loves) and sugar cookies with royal icing because the aristocrat in me needs to spend hours decorating with royal icing a few times a year.
