The Aussie Gourmet: Macadamia Chocolate Chip Cookies

In The K tchen Macadamia Nut Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’m nuts about nuts! I created this outrageous cookie recipe for a collaboration with @yumtee_nuts. Not only do I use nuts in cookies, I throw them in salads or grab a handful as a snack.

Ingredients ¾ cup oil ¾ cup sugar ¾ cup brown sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon kosher salt 2 cups flour 1 cup lightly chopped macadamia nuts ½ cup chocolate chips ½ cup shredded coconut

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

In a medium bowl, beat together oil, sugar and brown sugar until combined. Add eggs, vanilla, baking soda, and salt, beating well to combine after each addition. Add flour; beat until combined. Fold in nuts and chocolate.

Form dough into 1-inch balls; place on prepared baking sheets. Press down each slightly with palm of your hand.

Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown and set on top.
