Golden White Chocolate and Macadamia Cookies
Golden White Chocolate and Macadamia Cookies made from scratch. These buttery cookies are filled to the brim with roasted macadamia nuts and big chunks of white chocolate. Raise your hand if you’re a macadamia fan! Oh me! I am! And when you wrap those roasted pieces of heaven with golden cookie dough that’s filled with chunky pieces of white chocolate, what do you get? Heaven on a plate, I tell you.
These White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies are everything that’s right in the world. They’re lumpy and bumpy with crisp golden edges and a soft centre that just about melts in your mouth. My favourite way to ensure cookies have a gooey pockets of chocolate is to buy a block of chocolate and chop it by hand rather than using chocolate chips. These cookies are really easy to make.I highly recommend using a block of white chocolate and chopping it by hand rather than chocolate chips – but either way will still produce a delicious cookie.
