    Vegan White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

    Posted: Mar 24, 2016 ยท Updated: Aug 12, 2021

    Jump to Recipe

    Before I turned vegan, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookiesย were quite possibly my favorite kind of cookie. There was something aboutย the combination of the buttery nuts andย creamy white chocolate that hit all of the right flavor notes for me. So for the last many years, fair to say, I've pined for a cookie I cannot have. Until now.

    White chocolate macadamia nut cookies

    I just baked up theseย delicious and completely vegan White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies and theyย are so good, I think I am going to hide any I have remaining after I finish my gorge-fest, so I don't have to share withย Jay who went to bed thinking he's going to get one first thing he wakes up tomorrow morning. I know if he eats one of these he'll want to eat them all. Sorry, Jay, but mommies don't always tell the truth. Orย share.

    White chocolate macadamia nut cookies

    The white chocolate chips used here are vegan, of course, and I ordered them online. I was skeptical because I always thought white chocolate was heavily dependent on dairy to taste the way it does, but these are really good and taste exactly as they should. Try 'em, but be warned: you won't be able to stop at one!

    Ingredients 

    • 2 ยฝ cups unbleached all purpose flour (to make this healthier use whole-wheat pastry flour, but your cookie will have a darker hue)
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ยฝ teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup turbinado sugar
    • ยฝ cup brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • ยพ cup coconut oil
    • ยผ cup applesauce
    • 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoon of flaxmeal whisked with 6 tablespoon water)
    • โ…“ cup vegan white chocolate chips
    • โ…“ cup macadamia nuts (roughly chopped)
    • Oil spray (for spraying sheets)
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
    • Mix the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
    • In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, beat together the sugars with the coconut oil and applesauce until well-blended.
    • Add the coconut oil, flax eggs and vanilla extract and beat until mixed.
    • Add the flour and mix on low or medium speed until just blended. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure everything is well mixed.
    • Add the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts and mix.
    • Using a standard ice cream scoop, drop the dough on the lightly sprayed cookie sheet, leaving at least 2-3 inches between each scoop. The cookies will spread quite a bit so this is very important. For smaller sized cookies, use a smaller scoop.
    • Press more white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts on the tops of the cookies, if you wish, and bake for 10 minutes or until the cookies are golden at the edges.
    • Cool on a rack about 15 minutes, then slide off to a rack to cool further, using a spatula.

      I made these cookies with neat egg instead if flax due to an allergy and they were good. I changed it a bit by adding a 1/2 tsp of almond extract, zest from a clementine and 1/2 cup of craisins. Thanks for the recipe!

      What can we use instead of the liquid coconut oil? I live in a tiny town that doesn't sell that kind of thing.

        Olive oil is a good substitute!
