This is hands down my husband’s favorite cookie.  When I am feeling rich and want to splurge, I buy some macadamia nuts and bake these White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies for him.  The flavors are subtle but memorable and the soft and chewy cookie with a hint of crunch from the Macadamia Nuts is so good.  This recipe is a classic for a reason.  Enjoy!

How to Prepare the Macadamia Nuts

Step 1: We know Macadamia Nuts are expensive but they are super yummy. We bought a 6 oz. jar and had plenty for this batch of cookies and even had a few left over for a little snack. Give the nuts a rough chop before you start making the cookie dough.

Step 2: Cream the softened Butter, Brown Sugar, and Granulated Sugar in a mixer. Add the Eggs and Vanilla and mix until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, add flour and Baking Soda and mix together with a fork or whisk. Add the Flour mixture a bit at a time to the cookie dough and mix until the Flour is completely incorporated with the dough. (Do not over mix.) Stir in the White Chocolate Chips and the chopped Macadamia Nuts.

Step 3: Roll the cookie dough into a ball and place it on a prepared cookie sheet.
Step 4: Bake in a pre-heated 350-degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Cool on a cooling rack.

How to Store/Freeze

These White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies should be stored in an airtight container. They will stay fresh longer if they are completely cool before you pack them up.  Like most cookies, they will last 2-3 days at room temperature but you can freeze them for up to 3 months.
