White Chocolate Macadamia Nut
White chocolate macadamia nut cookies are the unsung heroes. These cookies are perfectly chunky and chock full of goodies! Use a really good white chocolate for these like Ghirardelli bars and chop them up yourself. I definitely recommend a bar you can chop over white chocolate chips! The results will be far superior, trust me! As for the nuts, I like to buy mine at Trader Joe’s… great values there!
Freezing Nuts
Another tip is to freeze your extra nuts for a longer shelf life. If you are not a nut fan, you can leave them out. The final cookie may be a bit flatter, though equally delish. Or you can double up on chocolate and maybe add some chopped milk chocolate bars or even dark chocolate!
Two Sweetie Pies
Luckily it is time for another month of Two Sweetie Pies! Another month of 2 Sweetie Pies with That Skinny Chick Can Bake means another wonderful dessert! Always a success when you bake from Liz’s blog! Each month we bake up a recipe from each other and keep it a secret until reveal day! Super fun! Make sure you pop over to visit Liz and see which Hugs & Cookies recipe she chose this month.

Make ahead tip:
You can prepare this dough ahead of time and freeze it. Then, when you are ready to bake just thaw it out and get baking. You can also make the dough, bake the cookies and then freeze the cookies. This way your freezer will be well stocked whenever the cookie urge should hit!
I hope you try these White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies soon! Let me know what you think!
