I’m such a sucker for white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies which is weird because I’m not a huge fan of white chocolate on its own. I’m not a picky eater by any means, but for some reason I find white chocolate to be on the way too sweet side. However, the macadamia nuts in the cookies calm down the sweetness of the chocolate to the point where I can eat multiple cookies in one sitting . . . and let me tell you, this is not good for the waistline!
The weather in D.C. was nothing short of gross tonight so I stayed in and went to work baking cookies. This recipe is quick and easy…and you will end up with a ton of cookies in the end.
White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 10 ounces white chocolate (chips or bars cut into chunks)
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped into chunks
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and salt with an electric mixer until creamy.
- Add eggs, beat well.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour and the baking soda; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended.
- Stir in white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
- Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. (Edges are golden brown and center is set.)
- Cool slightly, remove from cookie sheet to wire rack to cool completely.
…Put some on a plate, grab a glass of milk and enjoy!

Thank you! They are so tasty! Day by day the stack of cookies is getting smaller and smaller. The richness of the macadamias and the sweetness of the white chocolate is a perfect balance. What a treat :)
