macadamia nuts

These white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are soft-baked style with extra chewy centers. They're absolutely PACKED with white chocolate morsels and salted macadamia nuts. Chilling the cookie dough is imperative, so set aside at least 2 hours.

Super-Chunk White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

+ 2 Tablespoons (265 grams) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)

cornstarch

baking soda

salt

cup (1.5 sticks or 170 grams) unsalted butter, melted + slightly cooled

(150 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar

(150 grams) granulated sugar

large egg + 1 egg yolk,

vanilla extract

(210 grams) white chocolate chips*

(120 grams) roughly chopped macadamia nuts*

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.

Thanks for this, Sally!
I've never done American style cookies before, and these turned out to be really easy.
Now, I've replaced the granulated sugar with erythritol and the brown sugar with coconut blossom sugar. I've also used chopped 70% dark chocolate buttons and dried cranberries instead of white chocolate. First batch is busy cooling on a rack, and so far, they're looking good! Still a tad sweeter than I'm used to, but I'm happy with the result.
Next time, I'll probably just leave out the chocolate altogether for some cranberry and macadamia goodness. Sound sensible? Or do you have another recipe I ought to be looking at instead?

Very good! 
My macadamia nuts weren't salted, so I sprinkled some coarse sea salt on top before baking, loved the salty sweet combo. 
I baked the first half after refrigerating for about 30 minutes, it was a "need cookies ASAP" situation. I have the other half of the batter resting in the fridge so I'll compare how they bake. However, the ones that I baked after 30 minutes of refrigeration came out fine, I just took them from fridge to oven without letting them rest at room temp. So, if you just can't wait the full 2 hours resting for these delicious cookies don't let it deter you completely ;)

I made these for the first time today and LOVED them. I mean they are just amazing. Unfortunately, my brother is highly allergic to nuts. Do you think following this recipe but replacing the nuts for crushed pretzels would work?  Thanks!!

These are AMAZING! The best macadamia nut cookie I have ever had and thanks to you, I get to make them myself. It’s impossible to go wrong with you- every recipe I’ve baked is special and delicious!

Macadamia nuts have the highest level of monounsaturated fats, but they are also expensive, since the macadamia tree only produces nuts after seven to 10 years. Making your own nut butter ensures that it contains just nuts — and none of the sugar or hydrogenated oils that some brands include. The roasted macadamia nuts are central to this butter, but try blending in pitted medjool dates for a little sweetness or folding in toasted coconut flakes for a tropical flavor. Spoon this macadamia nut butter over warm pancakes or waffles, or whisk a spoonful of the nut butter into salad dressings to add depth.

Roasted Macadamia Butter

macadamia nuts (about 3 cups)

Kosher salt (optional)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread nuts in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and nicely toasted, about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Transfer to a rack and cool completely, 30 minutes.

Place nuts in a food processor and purée until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed (mixture may clump up, but will eventually become creamy). Season to taste with salt, if desired. Macadamia butter will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 3 weeks.

These cookies are thick, soft, and buttery and chewy, exactly what you want right? They're not too sweet, but it's heaven when you get that taste of sweet white chocolate and a bit of salty macadamia nuts. Simply awesome!!

Best-Ever White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

unsalted butter (2 sticks, room temperature)

brown sugar (packed)

sugar

eggs

all-purpose flour

Ghiradelli White Chocolate Chips (or white chocolate chunks, chopped)

Heat oven to 350°F.

In a large mixing bowl using a 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.

Stir in flour, baking soda and salt until just incorporated.

Stir in white baking chips or bar chunks and nuts.

Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop all the cookie dough cookie balls onto a baking sheet and transfer to refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.  If longer, place tin foil over the top to seal so cookie dough doesn&#039;t dry out.

Place cookie dough balls 2 inches apart from each other and bake 10-14 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

Cookies stay fresh when kept in a sealed container at room temperature for 3 - 4 days, or can be frozen for up to two months.

butter (softened)

(14 ounces caramels)

evaporated milk

cashews

butterscotch chips

Easy to make ice cream, no machine required! Sweet, smooth vanilla ice cream base with little macadamia brittle pieces is a dream in the summer.

No-churn Ice Cream with Macadamia Nut Brittle

heavy cream

400 g sweetened condensed milk

vanilla exctract

vodka

120 g glucose (or light corn syrup)

water

tsp salt (use 1/4 if you like more salted brittle)

g butter

tsp bicarbonate soda

Prepare a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper or lighly butter it.

Prepare the baking soda, vanilla and butter so you are ready when it&#039;s the time to use them.

In a medium sized saucepan over medium high heat, bring the water, glucose, sugar, salt, and macadamia to a boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula. The macadamia will roast in the process.

Cover with a lid for a minute to dissolve any sugar crystals.

Remove the lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 147 °C (296 degrees F). You have to use a thermometer here, making sure it doesn&#039;t touch the bottom of the pan.

Remove from the heat, add in the prepared vanilla, butter and baking soda and stir for a few seconds, until everything is well combined. The mixture will puff up.

Then immediately pour the brittle onto the prepared pan. Strech it with two forks, gently pulling in opposite directions making sure the macadamia nuts are not over each other.

Only start making the ice cream when the brittle is cooled completely, about 1 hour.

Macadamia Nut Brittle

When the brittle is cooled completely, crush or chop it into small pieces. The smaller they are the easier is to eat the ice cream but don&#039;t turn them into dust.

Prepare an ice cream container or a loaf tin 30x10 cm (12x4 inches).

Start making the ice cream by whipping the cream to soft peaks (the cream holds its shape but lightly) in one bowl and mixing the condensed milk with vanilla extract and alcohol in another bowl.

Stir 1/3 of the cream into the condensed milk and then gently fold in the remaining cream and crushed brittle pieces. You can leave some brittle to sprinkle over the top of the ice cream.

Pour the ice cream into the prepared container, sprinkle over the remaining brittle and cover with a cling film to protect it from freezer odors and crystalization. Also cover with a lid, if you have it.

Place the ice cream into the freezer for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Leave the ice cream outside for two minutes before scooping for easier scooping. Enjoy!

A double dose of raspberry jam—spread over the baked brownies and mixed into the rich truffle topping—makes these brownies extra special.

(1-1/2 sticks) butter

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9-inch baking pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Grease foil; set aside.

Bake 30 to 35 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with fudgy crumbs. (Do not overbake.) Cool in pan. Spread 1/4 cup of the jam over brownies.

Chop remaining 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate and the 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate; set aside. Microwave cream in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min. or just until cream comes to boil. Add chopped chocolates and the remaining 3 Tbsp. jam; stir until chocolates are completely melted and mixture is well blended. Spread over jam layer on brownies. Refrigerate 1 hour or until chocolate glaze is firm. Lift brownies out of pan onto cutting board, using foil handles. Cut into 32 pieces.

A triple temptation of decadence—layers of brownie, cream cheese and a chocolate macadamia nut topping—make this an extra-special dessert.
