White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

  4.5 – 896 reviews  • Macadamia Nut

With the help of this simple recipe, you can quickly roast ribs over charcoal. The ribs won’t be as tough as smoked ribs or as tough as braised ribs that fall off the bone. I’ve never had nicer ribs than these, and they’re done properly.

Amazing and so easy. 48 cookies is optimistic. Got about 32 cookies
Amanda Valencia
Tasted delicious like a good cookie but they were so dry and misshapen, despite following each detail and direction. Had high hopes but simply couldn’t eat it without dunking it in milk. Super disappointed
Nicole Solis
Made these cookies for the first time, fantastic results! I used full teaspoon of vanilla, as I did not have almond extract.. Absolutely delicious! Ladies, stop using a mixer. Hand mix batter. Make sure butter is room temp.
Jacqueline Collins
Way too much flour and extremely sweet. Came out cakey

Beautiful cookies. Added a little extra white sugar as I like cookies a bit on the sweeter side.. love them.
Debra Stein
Ok, I doubled the nuts, and the chips because anything else just seems skimpy. Here in my area, macademia nuts are 20 bucks a pound, and when I saw they were 1/2 off I loaded up! (keep in freezer). These are heavenly cookies!

As someone who does not like almond extract, I can really taste it. It does enhance the flavor of the macadamia nuts. However, next time I’ll only use ¼ or omit all together. I might include a tad more salt, as my nuts were unsalted. Great, otherwise!

I wasn’t sure how they were going to turn out so I made half of the recipe. They turned out SOO delicious!! I left them in the oven for 11 minutes, used salted butter, and vanilla only (instead of vanilla and almond). Thank YOU! Definitely a keeper 🙂

Like subway cookies in Australia. Very yummy, they disappeared quickly and my kids are fussy on my baking.

Love this recipe, cookies turn out great every time. Don’t understand some of the other reviews though, unless the recipe isn’t being followed correctly….
Pamela Cardenas
I was so excited to try these and I was so disappointed. They are soooo bland! I think it needs more sugar, salt, and vanilla. Or less egg and less flour. Just use a whole different recipe

Delicious cookie. I actually had a white Easter bunny to chop up for the white chocolate. I was surprised that it was easy to do with a good sharp knife. I did not have almond extract so I just used a full teaspoon of vanilla extract. Turned out great. Taking it to work to share.

I followed the recipe to a T and they came out perfect!!!!

10 min @ 350degrees = raw cookies. I have a brand new GE Cafe wall oven and a new oven thermometer so oven temp was good. Changed temp to 325 degrees for 20 min, rotating sheet 1/2 way thru baking.

Cookies were amazing. Don’t change a thing as I also got kind of scared reading the reviews but trust me they are amazing.
Ashley Smith
Wife asked me to make these for her. She loves them! First try with this cookie and it turned out great.
Brian Butler
It was good but can improve….
Amy Dougherty
By far the best cookie recipe I have done! It was a hit at home. My family keeps asking for me to make them!

So! I decided I wanted to make cookies for my boyfriend’s family meeting them for the first time and he chose the type of cookie they’d like. I’d never made white chocolate macadamia nut cookies but I’ve made most other types and I’m the kind of baker who usually plays fast and loose with recipes. I read the mixed reviews and here’s my tips/changes: 1. Equal parts brown and white sugar, I did 3/4 cup of both. 2. Cream the sugar and butter until it’s fluffy and fully incorporate the eggs, it shouldn’t look grainy or separated. 3. I used double vanilla purely because I hate almond extract and it’s not a normal flavoring for these cookies. It’d be a good addition if you’re a fan of marzipan flavor. 4. I used salted butter but unsalted nuts then the called for 1/2 tsp salt. 5. I cooked them 6 at a time on a medium non stick pan and that helped them spread and crisp the bottom/edges. 6. Mix it by hand, beat the hell out of the wet ingredients but as soon as you add flour all you should be doing is incorporating it, I did about 15 turns with a wooden spoon, then another 10 for mixing in the nuts and I used white chips. They turned out amazing with minor adjustments and I’m at high altitude. (about 7000ft)
