BETTER THAN MAX AND ERMA'S WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA COOKIES



Better Than Max and Erma's White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies image

I wanted a thick cookie to duplicate the ones at Max and Erma's, which my mom adores. I came up with this, which is similar to many such recipes, but the real trick to the flavor and thickness is in the cornstarch and the turbinado sugar. The result is a sinfully decadent and flavorful cookie. My mom said Max and Erma's cookies will now make her sad to eat, because they aren't nearly as good as these. I'm not a fan of white chocolate macadamia, and even I had trouble laying off them. Prep time does not include refrigeration. (I don't recommend skipping the fridge step--cold dough helps with the thicker consistency.)

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups + 2 Tablespoons (265g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1.5 sticks or 170g) unsalted butter, melted + slightly cooled
3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 heaping cup (210g) white chocolate chips*
1 cup (120g) roughly chopped macadamia nuts*

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract together until combined. Pour into dry ingredients and mix everything together with a rubber spatula until completely combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. (You can use a mixer for this step if needed.)
  • Cover and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 4 days. If chilling for longer than 2 hours, allow to sit at room temperature for at least 20-30 minutes before rolling and baking because the dough will be quite hard.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  • Roll cookie dough into balls, about 1-1.5 Tablespoons of dough per cookie, and arrange 3 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 12-13 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look soft.
  • Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.

MAX & ERMA'S CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Max & Erma's Chocolate Chip Cookies image

While visiting our daughter in Ohio one year, she suggested a restaurant where we could eat while she was in school, & said they had the best Chocolate Chip cookies, & told us we could order them while we dined & they would bake them for us to take home. We loved the concept of that idea, they serve really large cookies, and...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/3 c all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 stick butter, melted & cooled
1 1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 large egg yolks, room temperature
1 1/2 Tbsp madagascar bourbon vanilla extract( my preference)
1 pkg 11 1/2 oz. peanut butter chips (my preference)
1/2 c chunky peanut butter (optional) (my preference)
1 c chocolate chunks, or chips
1 c chopped walnuts or pecans optional (my choice)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium size bowl and set aside. PREHEAT OVEN TO 325 degree F.
  • 2. Beat both sugars & cooled melted butter in a large bowl until combined, gradually add eggs and egg yolks one at a time, and mix until thourgly blended. Add vanilla and peanut butter, and beat well. Gradually add flour to creamed mixture, a little at a time, and beat till smooth and well mixed.Then add nuts and both chips or chunks and mix with a large spoon until thourgly mixed.
  • 3. Shape dough into walnut size balls, about 2 tablespoons in each cookie, and place on a greased cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes and remove from oven, they will look like they are not fully baked. BUT LEAVE COOKIES ON COOKIE SHEET FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE REMOVING. This allows them to continue to cook but remain soft and chewy.
  • 4. After 10 minutes or so, remove to wire racks and allow to cool completely.
  • 5. NOTE: I especially like to USE AIR BAKE PANS ONLY for baking cookies, there is a visible difference when baking, the heated air bakes the cookies and they do not turn too dark on the bottom, or get too hard when baking. Also try to shape the cookies as closely to the same size as this allows them to cook evenly, and will all be done at the same time. Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract is my personal favorite, but any type will work, it is just that Madagascar has more flavor in my opinion.
  • 6. My family loves peanut butter, which is why I prefer to use peanut butter chips, and chunky peanut butter, but you can use all chocolate chips or chunks, and omit the peanut butter if you like, and omit the nuts as well, just that we prefer cookies with the nuts.
