Making These Scrumptious Cookies

Tips for White Chocolate Cranberry and Macadamia Nut Cookies

Perfectly chewy cookies packed with white chocolate, cranberries, and macadamia nuts!

White Chocolate: You can chop a white chocolate bar or white chocolate baking bar to give it a more rustic texture. Keep the chunks the same size as the nuts though. Even: You want the same amount of cranberries, chocolate and nuts for a good balance of taste. Cranberries: If you are not fond of cranberries or can’t find them, you can try dried tart cherries instead. I wouldn’t substitute with raisins though, they’re too sweet and it’ll over power the cookie. Nuts: I hear you! Macadamia nuts are expensive and sometimes hard to find. I will tell you they are totally worth the extra cost, however, you can substitute chopped pecans or walnuts instead. Underbake: To get that perfect soft chewy inside and barely crisp outside, you almost want to underbake them. Just cook them till barely set. You won’t regret it!

Freezing Macadamia Nut Cookies

These are so good, if you have leftovers you’re going to want to keep them around. These will stay soft and chewy when sealed in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. You can also store in an airtight ziplock, make sure to cool completely so they don’t sweat. You can freeze these cookies two ways:

Dough: Freeze the dough once you mix all the ingredients together. Drop by Tablespoons onto a cookie sheet close together. Freeze for 2 hours then transfer the dough to a freezer safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Bake straight from the freezer, they will need 2-3 min longer is all. Keep on eye on them so you don’t overcook them. Cookies: Once completely cooled place in a freezer safe, air tight container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
