I know I say this every time I post a new cookie recipe, but…
BEST. COOKIE. EVER.
What can I say, I’m a cookie enthusiast. I don’t think I could possibly ever choose a favorite. In the peanut butter arena, I have my Easy Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cup Cookies. If I’m in the go-big-or-go-home mentality, nothing cuts it like my Deep Dish Caramel-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies. When I’m in Hawaii and feeling the aloha spirit? THESE. These are my cookies of choice.
Speaking of Hawaii, I’m on my way there today! I’ll be reaching the Big Island by noon and meeting up with Kyle and his family for some relaxation, good food, and beach time. They’ve already been there for a few days, so I’m excited to finally arrive and start my vacation! I’m flying in between my organic chemistry labs, so it’s going to be a relatively short stay since I can’t miss the one I have this upcoming week. It’s okay, though, because these cookies are just the medium I need between Hawaii and Santa Barbara, and being able to have one with my morning coffee when I’m back home will fill the empty Hawaii-void I’ll be feeling.
So more about why these cookies are so freakin’ amazing. They have a nice small crunchy top layer that tops a soft and perfectly sweet inside that pratically melts in your mouth. And biiiiiggg chunks of macadamia nut and little love nuggets (aka white chocolate chips) in every bite. The base cookie recipe is from Pretty Simple Sweet and I don’t think I’m ever going to use another recipe. It’s that good! When I took them out of the oven and took my first bite, my face immediately lit up and I started oozing rainbows and unicorns.
I don’t even know how to describe them. They’re just perfect <3.
My hubby would love these. Pinning this recipe to bake later!
YUMMMMM! Haven’t had a macadamia nut cookie in ages (shameful). Have so much fun in Hawaii lady!
I LOVE white chocolate and macademia cookies, which is weird because I normally hate white chocolate. Those cookies are literally the only time I’ll eat it. Such a great combo!
Oooo lala! Have fun in Hawaii!
Awesome pictures!
Oh. My. Gosh. These are my favorite flavour of cookie ever <3 <3 <3 Pinning the recipe in 3, 2, 1 ….
YES you have me sold. Hawaii is one of my favorite places, followed by SB and Laguna, so I’m a beach girl at heart. I hope you have a wonderful time and I’ll be waiting to bake these when I finish work!
Ohhh I want one of these with my coffee too!! I was never into white chocolate until I tried my first ever Macadamia Nut Cookie… Love theeeeem now. Going to check out that cookie base!
Have a fun trip lady!
Can’t wait to see some pics.
I love macadamia nut cookies! These would be good with some dried cranberries.
Hi, just a quick question. For the butter, was it melted, softened, or cold?
Thanks for the great recipe!
It was softened :)!
I’ve always loved white chocolate macadamia cookies – two of my very favorite things! Your pics are literally making me drool over here!! Have a great time in Hawaii!!!
I love macadamia nuts and I love white chocolate – so I’m sure I’ll love these cookies
Can’t wait to try. Pinning. Thanks!
They’re delicious! I love how chunky they are :). Thanks so much for pinning!
Have a SAFE flight, and have an amazing trip. Hawaii holds a special place in my heart since that is where my brother went to school. I cannot wait to see all of your pictures! Make sure there is no studying going on during your trip. Relax.
If these cookies made you ooze rainbows and unicorns, then I have to say they must be something special. Perhaps, even the best ever! They look fabulous.
Oozing rainbows and unicorns?! I want in on that action! But, as always, these look fabulous, love! I was going to say “have a safe trip,” but I can see on IG that you made it over to the island safe and sound, so instead I’ll say… you better have a freaking blast 😀
Best Ever WCMN cookies is indeed a tall order, but I am game to see whether or now your speak the truth 😀
Umm, you had me at white chocolate macadamia nut. YUM!! Hawaii is my favorite place on earth. Serious home away from home. Enjoy every second!! Do some ocean swimming & zip lining for meeee and eat some super fresh fruit & acai bowls.

Hey Christine! It’s your cousin Bryan. I’ve been reading a lot of your posts and they all look so delicious and your photographs look so professional. I saw the photograph of Marie’s bunny and it is adorable! The macaroni with garlic looks yummy too. See you later!
Hi Bryan! Thanks for stopping by!
Isn’t Marie’s bunny the cutest? She looks like a little puff of snow when you pick her up. Can’t wait to see you again!
White chocolate and macadamia nuts- These two will be together forever!
AHHH LOVE THESE. I’ve been craving white chocolate macadamia nut everything. Also craving Hawaii. Have enough fun for the both of us, okay?
These are my husband’s FAVORITE flavor cookie! And I love the crunchy outside and chewy inside – these do look like the best ever! Pinned
