Description

Delight in these delicious White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies, a perfect blend of creamy white chocolate chips and crunchy macadamia nuts baked to golden perfection. These cookies are quick to prepare using refrigerated sugar cookie dough, making them an easy and indulgent treat for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 16oz. package refrigerated sugar cookie dough

Add-ins

  • ¾ cup white chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup chopped macadamia nuts


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cookies bake evenly and don’t stick.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the refrigerated sugar cookie dough, white chocolate chips, and chopped macadamia nuts. Mix thoroughly until the nuts and chips are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  3. Portion Dough: Using a medium cookie scoop, portion out the dough into balls, spacing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow room for spreading.
  4. Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown, indicating they are perfectly baked.
  5. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely, ensuring a crisp exterior and chewy center.

Notes

  • For evenly sized cookies, use a cookie scoop to portion the dough.
  • Ensure to line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Cooling the cookies slightly on the baking sheet before transferring helps them set and prevents breaking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Can be frozen unbaked for up to 1 month; bake directly from frozen adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
