Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Cookies

Chocolate White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Cookies

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
3 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
3/4 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts, lightly toasted
3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together butter and sugar until creamy - about 1-2 minutes. Beat in vanilla and egg until combined - about 1 minute. Beat in melted chocolate until combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually beat in flour mixture until combined. Stir in macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips until well incorporated.

Take heaping tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, and place on cookie sheets, spacing about an inch apart. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until set, and cookies look crinkly. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

I've never eaten grasshopper pie, buy I think I'd like it. I have, however, eaten these cookies and I totally give them two thumbs up! Can't wait to make them myself. Got my macadamia nuts this weekend. I also was thinking about using a dark cocoa in them.

So happy your mom is okay. :o)

Grasshopper pie! I've been wanting to make one forever but nobody I know in France actually likes the chocolate mint combo besides me. Your cookies look scrumptious!

Your Pie was the best part of my Mother's Day. Thank you. I love you very much.

That's just another thing to love about you - that you put your all into your baking! Tiger also had a neck injury this weekend doing what he loves. I'M TALKING ABOUT GOLF!

Your mom is lucky to have you and vice versa, of course!

MMM Grasshopper pie sounds good!

Your mom is a sweet lady. I'm sure she loved her pie and the sacrifice you made for it.

Can I be your mom? I want you to make me those cookies!

You made me remember how a grasshopper was the first adult cocktail I ever had. It was good.
BarbaraMay 10, 2010 at 3:36:00 PM CDT
So glad your mother is OK, Emily! And I know they loved your grasshopped pie, even if you think it needs more work. (you are a perfectionist!) Can't wait to see your recipe.
But for now, I'll make do with these heavenly chocolate cookies!
JenaMay 10, 2010 at 5:22:00 PM CDT
YUMMMMMMMMM.
I love chocolate, white chocolate, and macademia nuts. The combination of the three would be orgasmic... uh, taste-wise of course.

I hope your mommy enjoyed the grasshopper pie! I made a Coffee-Vanilla cake for my mother and she enjoyed it very much(:
JenaMay 10, 2010 at 5:40:00 PM CDT
Oh! And I finally updated my blog.
Since you are the only person who comments on my blog (because you are super cool), just though I'd let you know. Hehe :D
Holly.May 10, 2010 at 9:55:00 PM CDT
I hope you are working on that pie again. I am VERY eager to get my hand on your recipe! You're the best!

Hi Rachel, I love you too! I need to email you. I'm glad you liked it. I have a better recipe now though.

These look divine and great! Anything chocolate is great in my book!
ElianaMay 14, 2010 at 12:43:00 PM CDT
I bet these would taste great with some mint in them as well.
