My husband wanted a cookie that had a toasted nut flavor without any chocolate or white chocolate. This is the same base as my chocolate chip cookie recipe. The add-ins are the only difference. I tried using different extracts, pineapple juice, fresh pineapple, they all flavored the batter so the richness was lost.

How To Make mommys macadamia mmmmm cookies

  • I chop the pineapple to a rough size of smaller than a dime but bigger than a chocolate chip. Too small the flavor gets lost, too big and they take over the cookie.
    1
    Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small mixing bowl and put aside. Chop pineapple and put aside.
  • 2
    In large mixing bowl cream shortening, butter, sugars, vanilla and milk. Add eggs one at a time. Slowly add flour mixture being careful not to over mix. Do not scrape bowl.
  • 3
    Gently fold in the chopped pineapple, coconut and chopped macadamia nuts. Scraping the bowl as you fold. Do not over mix, you'll lose the chewy texture. Refrigerate dough for 20-30 minutes.
  • 4
    Drop by rounded tablespoon onto parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheet before transferring onto baking rack.
  • 5
    I get 3-4 dozen cookies, it depends on how much raw dough gets sampled before they bake. A serving is 2 cookies.
