WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES III

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

SOFT CHEWY WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream the butter and sugars with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla until combined.
• In a separate bowl, sift the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix between each addition.
• Once the dough is together, mix in the macadamia nuts and white chocolate by hand until evenly distributed. Scoop by heaping rounded tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet 2 in apart.
• Bake at 350˚F for 9-11 minutes or until the center is just set. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using a handheld mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 1 to 2 minutes or until well combined. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract, making sure to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, then mix in the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts on low-speed until fully incorporated into the cookie dough.
• Cover the cookie dough tightly and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
• Once the dough is almost chilled, preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
• Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure to leave a little room between each one.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops of the cookies are set and the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 to 10 minutes, then carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CHERRY COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a cookie sheet.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugars. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars until fluffy and pale in color, 3-5 minutes. This step is important for ensuring soft, chewy cookies. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Using a wooden spoon, carefully stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, just until combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips, dried cherries and macadamia nuts.
• Drop heaping spoonfuls of the batter onto the greased cookie sheet.
• Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until they just begin to turn golden around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• *Note: It isn't necessary for this recipe (I personally prefer the cherries to be chewy), but you can optionally place the dried cherries in a bowl and cover them with boiling water to soften them. Let them soak for 7-8 then thoroughly drain them. If you choose to soak them, use only 1/2-3/4 cup dried cherries as they will expand.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA COOKIES

Steps:

• For the cookies: Melt 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) of the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook, swirling the skillet, until the butter is golden brown. Set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the brown sugar, granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter. Drizzle in the cooled brown butter. Mix in the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla extract.
• In a separate small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until incorporated. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix well. Add the nuts and white chocolate and mix until incorporated. Drop large scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets using a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop.
• For the topping: Top the cookies with a few chocolate chunks and chopped nuts. Bake until the edges start to brown, about 14 minutes. Sprinkle the tops with a small amount of sea salt. Let cool on the baking sheets.

SUPER-CHUNK WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract together until combined. Pour into dry ingredients and mix everything together with a rubber spatula until completely combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. (You can use a mixer for this step if needed.)
• Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 4 days. If chilling for longer than 2 hours, allow to sit at room temperature for at least 20-30 minutes before rolling and baking because the dough will be quite hard.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
• Roll cookie dough into balls, about 1-1.5 Tablespoons of dough per cookie, and arrange 3 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 12-13 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look soft.
• Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.

• In a larger bowl, mix sugar, brown sugar, melted butter and eggs until completely combined. Add the vanilla. Mix well and then add the flour mixture.
• Stir in the macadamia nuts & white chocolate chips.
• Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Using a scoop, drop cookies onto cookie sheet. If you want the large cookies, use a large 3 TBSP scoop. If you want smaller cookies, use a medium, 1.5 TBSP cookie scoop.
• Add a few more white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts to the top of each ball of cookie dough.
• Bake in 350 degree F oven. Large cookies take 12-14 minutes. Smaller cookies take 9-11 minutes.
