I had some of the White Chocolate Candy Corn M&Ms in the house, and I wanted to bake something with them so I would stop eating them! (I got them at Wal-Mart - they might still have some) Chicken Legs suggested making White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies with them. Great idea!!
This recipe is different than most; It uses apple butter and cinnamon. It makes the cookies taste like Fall! These are the best White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies I've ever had. I took these cookies to the tailgate last weekend and didn't have any leftover!
White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
(Printable Recipe)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
12 oz white chocolate chips
1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1/4 cup apple butter
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Sift all dry ingredients together. Cream butter, shortening and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Add flour mixture and combine well. Add other ingredients.
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes.
**I chill the dough for about 5-10 minutes before scooping and baking.**

That last picture made me want to run to the store right now and buy the ingredients.
oo don't those look good!
I like the idea of adding the apple butter to the cookies, thanks for sharing. I wonder how it would taste in oatmeal & raisin cookies?
