White Chocolate Cookies With Macadamia Nuts Recipe
There’s no need for an electric mixer for this recipe, as it can all be done easily by hand. It only takes just over 40 minutes to have around 24 (depending on your scoop size) freshly baked cookies. White chocolate is used here, but if you’re not a fan of white chocolate, you could use milk or even dark chocolate.
What you will need for White Chocolate Cookies With Macadamia Nuts
- Self-Raising flour, All-Purpose flour, Baking powder: Self-raising flour contains a leavening agent, whereas all-purpose flour doesn’t. Adding the Baking powder also helps keep the cookies light and chewy. We found the combination is just the right balance for this recipe.
- Butter: Use good quality unsalted butter; you can melt the butter in the microwave or a saucepan.
- Brown sugar: This adds depth of flavor to the cookies.
- Superfine sugar: Aka caster sugar. You can also use granulated sugar if need be.
- Egg: Use a large size, room-temperature egg.
- Vanilla extract: You don’t need vanilla pods for this recipe but avoid vanilla essence.
- Raw macadamia nuts: Make sure these are unsalted!
- White chocolate chips: Use good quality chocolate. Feel free to substitute with milk or dark; you can even use a combination.
How To Make White Chocolate Cookies With Macadamia Nuts
- Add ingredients: butter, brown sugar, superfine sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix: until smooth in texture and free of any lumps.
- Into a sieve: Add the self-raising, all-purpose flour and baking powder.

- Add crushed macadamia nuts: and white chocolate chips to the dough.
- Combine: Mix until just combined, but don’t over-mix. The cookie dough should be slightly soft and sticky with some dry crumbs, even some flour in spots.
