On one of our trips this year, my daughters bought cookies at Insomnia Cookies in NYC. I wanted to try something different and ordered a white macadamia. I loved it so much that I kept craving that flavor as soon as we went home.
So finally, I decided to create this recipe.
In the beginning, I was unsure how to achieve the perfect texture for this particular cookie. I kept changing the white and brown sugar ratios until finally, I settled for 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar and only 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
Time in the oven 9 minutes —> the edges will start to brown and appear undercooked, but remember that cookies continue cooking as they cool, so please, do not overbake them. The secret is to always look for the edges; they will dictate the doneness.
Now that the Holiday season is upon us (yay!), these are great for office/school parties, cookie exchanges, and cookie platters! I am thinking of giving them out during a white elephant party. These cookies will be a hit.
Who doesn’t love macadamia nuts? They have such a unique texture and delicious nutty flavor.
These cookies freeze very well, so you can make an extra batch and bake during the holidays.
I hope you can make these chewy White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies at home. If you do, let me know how they come out.
