Lemon White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
To overstate the deliciousness of these cookies would not be easy!
I first bought one at a Whole Foods and knew I had to make them at home.
These cookies are special and a little more expensive because the nuts are a bit pricey, but they are great for a special occasion!
So here’s how I’ve recreated these cookies.
(This is basically the Crisco Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe (my fav) that has been tweaked for our purposes. 😉 )
Here it is:
LEMON WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES
- 1 and 1/2 cup Crisco® Butter Flavor All-Vegetable Shortening
- 2 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg
- 3 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 and a half bags white chocolate chips (18 oz TOTAL)
- 2 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
- 1 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Zest of two lemons
HEAT oven to 375ºF.
COMBINE shortening, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Beat in eggs, lemon zest and juice. Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Mix into shortening mixture until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
DROP by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet.
BAKE 8 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies, or 11 to 13 minutes for crisp cookies.
Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet on a cooling rack. Remove cookies to rack to cool completely.
That’s it. So delish!
Oh my goodness, these sound so yummy! I need to add the ingredients to my list for next week!
I would love it if you would share this post on the Creative @ Home Wednesday Link-Up! I really think my readers will enjoy it!
