T’was the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. And that’s because the mice know that these cookies are for Santa and his reindeer.
WHO INVENTED WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES
White chocolate chips were invented by Nestle in the 30’s, but macadamia nuts weren’t available to the public until 1975. Sometime after that these delicious flavors found each other, and history was made.
I just love Macadamia Nuts and putting them in cookies is Amazing.
Plus these are Santa’s favorite cookies, so make sure save some for him too.
There are various recipes online that claim to be the best, I have tried a few. I have also tried a few from cookbooks and magazines that I have in my library. I’ve come up with this recipe that makes the best large chewy cookies that everyone is sure to love.
CAN YOU FREEZE WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES
Yes, once you make the dough you can freeze in into small balls in the fridge for up to 3 months. Covered of course, then simply defrost them and smash them down before baking.
HOW TO MAKE White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
The key is the ingredient ratio; along with using butter and shortening in the recipe. So be sure to follow this one to a tea and you will be sure to have the best cookies this time of year.
Christmas is just right around the corner, so I am getting my holiday baking done early this time. That way I have plenty of time to do all the other things that are at hand.
These cookies are simple to make and really go well with a cup of milk, rather rumor has it.
These White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies are one of Santa’s favorite cookies.
So if you leave them by the chimney this Christmas he may leave behind something extra special for the baker.
Wishing you and your’s a wonderful and very merry Christmas.
Super easy to make, you can have these done in under 30 minutes.
Notes: After cookies are completely cooled, place in airtight container or plastic freezer bag. Keep the dough refrigerated if you are going to be making these in batches.
Don’t forget to leave them by the fireplace with a glass of milk for Santa.
