Macadamia nut cookies are a wonderful change of pace when you’re craving soft cookies with a crunchy texture. The macadamia nuts are buttery and rich, and the white baking chips provide a delightful contrast with their smooth and creamy character. Put it all together, and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are an absolute winner. This is a fantastic drop cookie recipe<\/a> for holiday parties, edible gifts or potluck events.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: Many bakers underestimate the time it takes to cream butter and sugar<\/a>. The process adds pockets of air that aerate the batter, creating lighter, more tender cookies. The standard time needed to reach this stage is five to seven minutes; a more powerful mixer might require only two to three minutes.<\/p>\n Beat in the egg and vanilla.<\/p>\n In separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.<\/p>\n Gradually beat the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: Once the dough is combined, stop mixing! Overworked dough can create tough cookies that are dense or crumbly.<\/p>\n Stir in the macadamia nuts and white baking chips.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip: You can bake the cookies immediately, but chilling cookie dough<\/a> is the best way to create the cookies with a crispy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside texture. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing the cookies 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, or until golden brown.<\/p>\n Cool the cookies on the pan for one minute. Then, remove the cookies to wire racks, and cool them completely.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: If you double the recipe and bake multiple batches of cookies, keep the remaining dough cool in the refrigerator. You’ll also want to let the baking sheets air-cool completely before starting the next batch. Baking sheets can warp when rinsed under cold water.<\/p>\n Yes, you can make white chocolate macadamia nut cookie dough up to four days in advance. Store it, covered, in the refrigerator. When you’re ready, shape and bake the cookies as directed.<\/p>\n If you want to work further in advance, you can freeze cookie dough<\/a> for up to three months. To freeze the entire batch, wrap the finished dough in parchment paper. Flatten it, and place it in a freezer bag. Thaw the dough overnight in the fridge. Then, shape and bake the cookies as directed.<\/p>\n To freeze individual cookies, portion the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until the dough balls are frozen. Transfer the frozen dough to a freezer-safe container. To bake, thaw overnight in the fridge. Or, bake from frozen\u2014just increase the cooking time by three to four minutes.<\/p>\n Store drop cookies such as white chocolate macadamia nut cookies in an airtight container. They keep at room temperature for about seven days. If the cookies become dry or hard, slide a piece of bread into the container to soften the cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can freeze baked cookies<\/a> in a single layer on a baking sheet. After frozen solid, transfer them to an airtight container. They will last for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature when you\u2019re craving a sweet treat.<\/p>\n You can use any variety of macadamia nuts to make white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. Macadamia nuts are a popular snack nut, so you\u2019ll have several choices at the market\u2014roasted, salted or flavored varieties. Your choice will affect the flavor of the finished baked good, but it’s entirely up to personal preference.<\/p>\n White chocolate macadamia nut cookies might spread for several reasons. Cookies can be flat<\/a> if the flour isn’t measured correctly. Instead of dunking the cup into the flour bag, use a large spoon. Gently scoop the flour into a measuring cup. Then, level it off with the flat side of a butter knife. Another culprit could be the butter. Too-soft butter will melt too quickly in the oven. The cookies will flatten before they have time to set. This can also happen if you substitute another fat, such as margarine, coconut oil or shortening. These fats melt at different temperatures, and the cookie won\u2019t turn out as expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" White chocolate macadamia nut cookies are the king of macadamia nut cookies.

What kind of macadamia nuts can you use to make white chocolate macadamia nut cookies?<\/h3>\n
How do you prevent white chocolate macadamia nut cookies from spreading?<\/h3>\n
What kind of macadamia nuts can you use to make White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies? <\/h3>Macadamia nuts are a popular snack nut, so you\u2019ll probably have lots of choices at the market\u2014roasted, salted, even flavored. Any variety will work in baking; the biggest effect will be on the flavor of the finished baked good, which is entirely up to personal preference. Note that this recipe does not contain any salt; if you\u2019re using raw, unsalted nuts, you might want to add a little salt to bump up the flavor. (Sample more recipes with macadamia nuts<\/a>!)
How long should you cream the butter and sugar when making White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies? <\/h3>Many bakers underestimate the time it takes to cream butter and sugar<\/a>; you want your mixture to be pale in color and fluffy, without obvious crystals. The standard time needed to reach this stage is 5-7 minutes; with a more powerful mixer, it might require only 2-3 minutes.<\/div>
Can you make White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies ahead of time? <\/h3>Drop cookies such as this one can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. If you want to work further in advance, either keep the baked cookies or the unbaked dough in the freezer for up to 6 months. It\u2019s easiest to measure out the dough into easily baked morsels before freezing, rather than trying to thaw an entire batch of dough at once. For more on storing different types of cookies in the run-up to the holidays, see our guide. <\/a><\/div>
