These White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies are making me all nostalgic about our trips to Hawaii over the years. And while I can’t be there right now (I wish!) I can eat these chewy, butter cookies on my front porch and dream.
These cookies are super easy to make, and they are seriously addicting. Like, be prepared to lose all self control and watch the batch disappear right before your eyes. I recommend sharing, or freezing some cookies to keep your jeans happy.
A few of these cookies with a hot cup of coffee is pretty much the perfect afternoon treat! Even my kids said these were the best cookies ever. They were a little upset that my husband felt the same way… Oops!
The saltiness from the nuts, along with the chewy buttery cookie, and sweet white chocolate chips is almost as dreamy as a Hawaiian vacation. I know it’s just the end of summer, but I’m already planning to make these for my Christmas cookie trays/gifts! Don’t hate me for bringing up Christmas this early…I just can’t help myself. Enjoy!

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies are literally one of my favorites! I use to eat them all the time when I was little! We use to go to Subway after church almost every Sunday and I always got one when we were there!! haha
I love them!
Lorena says
These recipe by far is the best! I did half to give it a try and they were delicious! For sure I will do more for new years 💃
Judy says
I tried this recipe at Christmas and sent to my daughter. She didn’t get them till a week later and she said they were Ahhh-mazing! I agree. I baked some less and some more so I could try the soft version and the crunchy version, both were good. But I think the softer ones keep longer.. if there is such a thing! Make sure you use the genuine White chocolate (ghiradelly is great) and good quality mac nuts! Thanks again!

Hello Stephanie! If I make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight, do you think Ill still get the best texture?
Stephanie Brubaker says
Hi Rochelle! They will probably be a bit chewier but should still be wonderful. These are my hubby’s favorite 🙂
Nikki says
This may be a silly question but, do you use salted or unsalted macadamia nuts? I’m at Trader Joes and they have both. I’m not sure which ones to get.
Stephanie Brubaker says
Either one is fine. I use salted because that’s what I buy to snack on anyway 🙂
Anita says
What’s the purpose of using corn starch? I never used that before in any cookie recipe.
Stephanie Brubaker says
It keeps the cookies soft for dayyyss! 🙂 Enjoy!

Hi, I made these delicious cookies tonight and I noticed thafter they cooled that the cookies tasted a bit dry. I followed the recipe exactly. Has this happened to you?
Stephanie Brubaker says
It sounds like they were a bit over baked. I would try cooking them a minute or two less next time.
