    How to Make Macadamia Nut Cookies From Scratch

    Not only are these cookies delicious, they fill your home with the most nostalgic aroma.

    Step 1: Make the cookie dough

    Using two separate mixing bowls, whisk together the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients. Stir together until just combined, then fold in the mini vegan white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts.

    Step 2: Roll into balls

    Form a dozen balls from the cookie dough and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Depending on the size, you may need to use a second baking sheet.

    Step 3: Bake and let cool

    Bake for 10-12 minutes, remove from oven, and let cool on the baking sheet.

    These cookies are perfect as a sweet afternoon snack, indulgent dessert, or served at any party or occasion.

    Recipe Tips & FAQ

    Are white chocolate chips vegan?

    There are a handful of store-bought vegan chocolate chips nowadays.

    What type of coconut oil should I use?

    Refined coconut oil has a neutral taste, making it a great butter replacement when baking. For this recipe, make sure you're using room temperature coconut oil.

    Can these be made gluten free?

    Gluten free 1 to 1 flour is a great substitute for all purpose flour!

    What other add-ins can I use for these cookies?

    You could try including dark chocolate, dried cranberries, and other nuts!

    How can I prevent these cookies from falling flat or becoming too oily?

    Make sure you're measuring the coconut oil (or plant-based butter) accurately. If you use too much, these will spread out on the baking sheet. The end result will still be a tasty cookie but with lots of excess oil. Additionally, if you notice your cookies are spreading before baking, pop the baking sheet in the fridge for a few minutes to help the dough firm up.
