Whit Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies are my very favourite cookie but shamefully I have never made them. I must remedy this and fast!

[...] I have two nephews, cute as can be, who are brothers; Damian & Dominic. One day Grandma asked if they wanted macadamia nut cookies, which sounds like you’re saying macaDamian nut. Dominic then said,”No Grandma…I want macaDominic cookies.” So here is a cookie, just for Dominic. Instead of using the traditional white chocolate with macadamia nuts, I’ve used dark chocolate. I based the recipe off a recipe I found on the brown eyed bakers blog. [...]

Just discovered your website and tried your version of these cookies. Really good. Am trying your triple chocolate oatmeal next, but am wondering whether I can add walnuts without upsetting the recipe too much.

I did not cool the butter first either (now I know). They tasted great, but like Jennifer said 2 cups of chips was too much.

Michelle, thank you SO much for taking time to email me about the recipe. No, I did NOT let the butter cool after I melted it. DUH. In my message to you, I typed that I wasn’t a novice baker, and I’m not, but maybe I should have known to do that. I didn’t see that instruction in the recipe. I make a buttersctoch brownie where the butter is melted but it’s poured into the flour mixture as is and not cooled first, so that’s what I did with these cookies. Live and learn. Thank you. I’m going to try them again, though I have to say my hubby LOVES the cookies just as I made them. The flavor is still there, they’re just kinda puffy. THANK YOU and HAPPY BAKING!

Hi Kady,

I’m sorry to hear that these cookies didn’t turn out for you. I’m not sure what could have caused the problem though. Did you allow the melted butter to cool before using it in the recipe? This is the exact same base that I have used for my Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies for almost two years now and have never had a problem at all. I have received a lot of feedback on both these macadamia nut and chocolate chip cookies and no one has mentioned this problem. Hopefully another reader can perhaps shed some light.

Did anyone else have a problem baking these cookies? I followed the recipe, questioned melting the butter, but did it anyway, and the “dough” looked more like cake batter – way too thin to even begin to make cookies. I had to add almost a whole cup of flour to make the dough resemble cookie dough. I LOVE white chocolate macadamias and the first batch just came out of the oven. They look too puffy, but no wonder since I added so much more flour. I can’t figure out what happened. I’ve been baking for 40 years, so I’m not a novice. I looked up other recipes for this same cookie and ALL the others I found said to use SOFTENED butter. I bet that was my problem. Anybody else try this recipe and have a problem. I posted this recipe on my blog before Christmas and now feel I have to go back and not only revise it, but offer an applogy to those who tried it and had the same problem I did. I’d love to hear from anybody who make these. Thanks!

very tasty cookie… 1st half of the batch came out a little browner (and quite crispy) than i wanted so i took the 2 half out a lot earlier and they are still rather crispy… maybe next batch i will add one more egg yolk… but again, very tasty… just want a bit chewier

OMG! I am certain that they taste just like Mrs Higgins’ ones!!! They’re my absolute favourite and my sister usually buy them for me whenever she stopped by Auckland. I’ve always wanted to know how to make one and now I can~ Thanks!!!

I wanted to make White Choc Mac Nut cookies today and spent all night going through my cookbooks. Couldn’t find a one! So I did a google search this morning and lo and behold – your recipe popped up! I can’t wait to try the recipe. Your sweet and sour chicken rocked so I have high hopes for the cookies.

I made these cookies but I didn’t have any macadamia nuts. They were very yummy…I sprinkled coarse salt on the tops before I baked them and it gave them a nice contrast with how sweet the chocolate chips are. You are rapidly gaining credibility in my kitchen, Brown Eyed Baker.

Eliana – isn’t that weird?? I would love your recipe for the muffins!

Hi Jackie – You could use pretty much any nut that you do like. I think pecans would be especially good in here, as well as peanuts. If you try a different variation, I’d love to hear how you liked them!

I used light brown sugar (sorry I left out the “light” – I went back and edited the recipe, thanks for catching that!).

I was wondering what other kind of nuts can I use, I do not like Macadamia Nuts. Also what kind of brown sugar did you use light or dark.

This is by far my favorite cookie and yours look incredible. Funny that none of my books here have a recipe for it either BUY I do have a recipe for white chocolate macadamia nut muffins.
