These delicious White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies are soft and chewy with the subtle tastes of White Chocolate and Macadamia Nuts blending together into the perfect bite of cookie.

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!

Ingredients You Will Need

• Eggs: Large, room temperature eggs.
• Vanilla Extract: everything tastes better with vanilla extract.
• Butter: Sweet Cream Salted butter, softened to room temperature.
• Sugar: You will need Granulated Sugar and Brown Sugar for the cookie dough. We use Light Brown sugar in these cookies, but Dark Brown Sugar will be fine if that is what you have in your pantry. 
• Flour: We use All-Purpose Flour for baking cookies.
• Baking Soda: to help create a soft cookie with a little bit of rise.
• White Chocolate Chips: We like both Nestle’s and Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips.
• Macadamia Nuts: We know they 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.

How to Make the Cookie Dough

1. Cream the softened Butter, Brown Sugar and Granulated Sugar in a mixer.
2. Add the Eggs and Vanilla and mix until light and fluffy.
3. In a separate bowl, add flour and Baking Soda and mix together with a fork or whisk.
4. 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.)
5. Stir in the White Chocolate Chips and the chopped Macadamia Nuts.

Baking Instructions

• Roll the cookie dough into a ball and place on a prepared cookie sheet.
• 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 up to 3 months.
