Time 42m

Yield 6 dozen cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (6 1/2 ounce) jar dry-roasted and salted macadamia nuts
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
1 cup butter (2 sticks, do not use margarine)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In food processor, pulse nuts until they are finely chopped, or chop by hand. With a mixer, combine butter and vanilla, and mix until smooth, occasionally scraping the sides with a rubber spatula. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix for 2 more minutes. Then add the flour and mix just until combined and the dough holds together. Fold in the macadamia nuts.
  • Shape dough by measuring teaspoons into 3/4-inch balls. Place balls, 1 inch apart, on ungreased large cookie sheet. Bake cookies 20 to 22 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to wire rack and cool 5 minutes.
  • Sift remaining 1 cup confectioners' sugar into a pie plate. While cookies are still warm, roll in sugar to coat; return to wire rack to cool completely. When cool, gently roll cookies in sugar and then tap very lightly to remove any excess sugar.
  • Repeat with remaining dough and sugar. Store cookies in tightly-covered container at room temperature up to 1 week, or in the freezer up to 3 months.

The cookies didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. They were a little dry and crumbly. I think I may have overbaked them.

The cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I would use less sugar.

These cookies are so good, I ate the whole batch in one sitting! They're soft, chewy, and full of flavor. The macadamia nuts add a nice crunch and the white chocolate chips add a touch of sweetness. I will definitely be making these cookies again.

I'm not usually a fan of macadamia nuts, but these cookies changed my mind. The nuts are roasted to perfection and they pair perfectly with the sweet, buttery cookie dough. The cookies are also really easy to make, which is a bonus.
