I baked these vegan white chocolate macadamia cookies for my friend’s birthday last weekend. The macadamia nuts made the cookies rich, and she said they were better than the bakery version she usually buys.
Delicious Vegan White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies
These bakery-style cookies feature creamy white chocolate and crunchy macadamia nuts, delivering a delightful texture and flavor in every bite. The recipe takes about 25 minutes to prepare and bake, yielding around 12 cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan butter softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegan white chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup macadamia nuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the almond milk and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the vegan white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly for even baking.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

I store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. The edges stay golden, and I let cookies come to room temperature before serving.
