It’s not a secret that macadamia nuts can be pretty expensive — even if you buy them in bulk you are dropping a few more dollars than planned. So, if you are going to dish out the money, put the nuts to good use and make this delicious cookie recipe. It is totally worth it.
Now fair warning, this delectable Hawaiian nut, as yummy as it is, isn’t the best option if you are trying to lose a few pounds. One ounce of macadamia nuts contains approximately 200 calories (nutritiondata.self.com). So eat just one or two cookies every three days or once a week to keep that scale down.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 3 ½ ounces macadamia nuts chopped
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.[ND8]
- In a mixing bowl, beat butter untill[ND9] soft and fluffy. Then add about half of the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, vanilla [ND10] and baking soda until well combined.
- Beat in the remaining flour.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts with a rubber spatula until well combined.
- Roll the dough into balls and place them on a cookie sheet with enough space to allow for flattening while they bake.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes.
