White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Cookies

  4.6 – 4 reviews  • Macadamia Nut

Oatmeal and coconut are two ingredients that are typically absent from white chocolate-macadamia nut cookies. The end dish has crisp edges and a scrumptious chewy center.

Cookies taste great, but wayyyy too dry. Even using half the oats and coconut is too much. I added those last, only used less than a fourth and that worked better. Followed all ingredients to a tee.

Great recipe-it reminds me of Hawaii.
George Jimenez
I had to omit the coconut simply because I had none. These cookies came out perfectly!
Ricky Adkins
So good. Were gone the same day, had to make another batch!
